bought a few Trekkers a while back .. and now have started my own .

this one is going to be a "some what" stock restoration .. but with a few "extras" .


so here's where I'm starting .




don't mind the dust .. it's been sitting inside my shop for a while now .

there is one small rust hole on The right side .. front spring hanger , inside box steel .. you can see it in the pic .. it's so minor , I'm just going to weld in a patch .

so a little work today ... got onto the frame repair .

got the little plates/patches welded in .. It really wasnt that bad at all , the main / worse dammage was from me hitting with a hammer it trying to find the rust .. I really didnt see any point in doing "fish plates" .. as there (in my opinion) was NO structural strength loss . Other side is perfect .



and done ..



also started "prepping" the frame for the POR-15 treatment.

As with all of your builds, lookin' good <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> This one gettin' a 7mgte too? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

no 22r +



I hope . just workin' on the deal .



.

gosh darnit CJ you're stealin my ideas! (blown 22r in a trekker) but atleast youre bringing them to reality <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

oh and you can thank me for youre next order of 89-95 bedsides to london <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> you dont have the flared ones yet eh?

well, not a "done deal" yet .... guy wants to trade so , well see . can't let him know I want it to bad

Trekker is for sale ! .. as any piece is !!! , for the right price .. so it could be yours but I think I'll drive this one first


Thank YOU for your references .. I totally apprecieate them . " word of mouth " is my only advertizing .
Flared/hi-clearance are in the works .


.

so got the top side done (cleaned) , flipped it over and started on the bottom side .


also ordered the POR15 .


.

damn, was that the most rust-free frame you could find lol? are you going to por-15 the inside somehow? if not i would think it would just rust from the inside out.

it's really not that bad , it actually hasnt been used in 10 years , but it was sitting outside (under cover) , so it has surface rust .. lots of factory black , in many spots .. it looks way worse in the pics , then in real life .. Trust me , It's the BEST frame I have seen in a lot of Years , Very solid .

I have a pressure pot , with a flexable hose and a 360* spinning v notch nozzle .. works awesome , so YES .. inside will be done as well as outside .

I've debated spraying the inside of the frame with oil. I'd have to watch the welding. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

CJM, ping me on that blower.. There are some things that you need to know.
