feed bin 5

Hey guys, new to the board, but not new to 5's. I thought I'd share one of my projects with you that I probably should have scrapped. It's a 74 that I thought I'd salvage for deer camp duty during the fall. The floor pan was shot, and to boot, the PO had the bright idea of cutting the side out of it before bracing. According to my measurements I'm pretty close to being back to square. The floor pan is made from metal from an old chickenhouse feed bin that I had on the property. It's not going to be pretty, but it will be functional for my purposes. Here's a few pics:

 

Nice job.
Most,including myself, would have walked away.
Hope it serves you well at camp. and

Welcome aboard!

Id have pulled what was left that could sell... then scrapped it faster than i could blink.

then i would have looked for a better one to save,

That said, well done! even the most die hard jeepers here would have likely walked away. Post pics, lots and lots of pics.

Good Luck!

 

Floor looks good enough to me,good job. Remind of me of my `87 XJ...when I started poking around underneath i realized the entire floor pan was held together by the carpet. I ended up pulling all the seats carpet,console,etc.,and rebuilding the entire floor pan. Fun times.

 

Looks great! When I saw chicken house feed bin I knew it was North Ga!
