Ben's Project: 91 XL

Some of you know I purchard Briwayjones' old 1991. It needed some help..


Don't have any before but there should be some on the site..

Doing the inner dog legs plus the outers, I cut all the rust out before starting and added a rust inhibitor (por-15) to ensure the rust is gone to the best of my abilities. Good bonding between old sheet metal & new sheet metal was done buy using body panel adhesive/seam sealer between the joints and adding plug welds/rivets, etc.. Not the greatest job doing it but I'm no pro and this is just to prevent the rust from proceeding any further.

**shudders at the thought of all that rust**


Ya know, it probably would be cheaper to buy one already road legal and built....

I actually thought about that, but one problem, I don't have $3K on hand unless you feel like $500 a month

I wish i had those hand crank windows. It would've saved me so much trouble.

Hmm.. discovered a few issues with the truck the other day.. oil pressure would randomly act funny basically the needle would bounce or sometimes not register at all. Also discovered oil is coming thru near the valve covers and leaking onto the exhaust manifold. Need to check on things more further to see the extent of the damage.
