Well, to start off, i got this bad boy for a steal, i did a few upgrades and decided to fix the rust, what do you all think?

here's a before



Here's another before with topper



and here's a couple after, the color does match... (chip guard, new rockers and cab corners) it's still curing

 

Looks nice. What's a "steal?" As in, how much????

 

4k, with 160k on the clock.. around here, that's a steal

 

Oh yes, good score! You gonna flip it for a big profit now?

 

Naw, I just can't bring myself to do it , I made the mistake of selling a good one a while back, I'll keep her out the salt and cherish her. I've got the ranger to rust out

 

looks g00d i need rockers and corners in the worst way did you do it your self or have a shop do it??!

 

I had a shop do it, but i patched the front fenders myself. I wouldnt have been able to get the body lines right, so i didnt even want to attempt it.

When they put them in they removed the doors so they could get all the gaps right and body lines right, you cant even tell they did it. I kept the old pannels, i'll post a few photos of the inside and outside of them here in a bit, they only showed a few bubbles, but in side they were solid rust.

While they were in there also rust proofed everything. The inner rocker is also part of the floor, mine had started to rust so they also took care if that.

Chances are, if you"ve got big old holes in your rockers the inner will need quite a bit of attention as well, and maybe even the floors.

 

yeah i have the parts just havent attempted it yet picked up a spot weld drill bit, but ive always been kinda sketched out on doin body work!! how bad was it $ wise at the shop?..
