    1/2 cab qwik fix.

    the meyers cab i got recently had some nasty rust damage on the lower portion of the rear panel.

    since i am not a welder/fabricator i took the easy way out.
    i used a cutting wheel to trim off the jagged edge
    and then pop riveted a sheet of heavy gauge flashing over the whole mess.
    it didnt get painted because i was doing this in the rain.

    You did remember to count splines and teeth for me?

    If I get a chance, I'll take pics of the '67 sitting in front of my shop. Saturday Morning the neighbor drove it over... Down to rolling chassis right now - moving everything to another frame, refreshed tub - should be done by the end of May.

    Yes - those and the spline on the inside just to be sure (probably 6, but check while your there as I have seen 1 with 10).

    Nice build! Makes me think one day mine will be drivable. I know what you mean about having something you stick money into just sitting...

    I dig the seats also, do they fold up to let you use the toolbox? I need to find some of those!

    Nice work!

    yeah
    those are the correct seats.
    passenger swings forward.

    this is the best advice i can give anybody that doesnt know dookie about cars but wants to rebuild one.
    invest in a camera
    and take pics of every single thing you do
    every step of the way.
    trust me.
    you WONT remember how stuff goes back on!;)

    this dana/spicer rebuild was the one time i didnt take pics.
    it cost me 80 bucks to hire a guy to align the shifter forks.
    1 pic would have saved me that money.
