You are one mighty brave sole to take on a rusty vehicle as such! I've lived in New England all my life & have had numerous rusty vehicles. The simplest fix often takes me three to five times longer than it should because of frozen hardware & or missing sheetmetal, structual supports.
You're an inspiration, keep plugging! ...... -Dana

I just gotta wonder how many yotas your customer could buy for the amount he's going to pay you for all that work. But having said that, I always love to see the old ones resurrected rather than thrown away. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

wow. that looks really good. whats the skill level required for installing those 1/4's? im hoping my 4runner wont ever get that rusty, but i do live in NH. when the time comes ill probably do that, if the rest of the truck lasts that long <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> but really, that looks beautiful.

AUSSiE THAT , my friend , is the best reason of all . <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> wow. that looks really good. whats the skill level required for installing those 1/4's? im hoping my 4runner wont ever get that rusty, but i do live in NH. when the time comes ill probably do that, if the rest of the truck lasts that long <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> but really, that looks beautiful.
