Got the two rear spots measured up and cut out last weekend.
Also started filling in a lot of the small holes. Weather has been too nice the last couple of days so I've been riding the Harley to work, but I did pick up a 36 x 48 sheet of 16 ga on Tuesday. Had them cut it in half for me. Filling top snap holes: ![]() ![]() Tire carrier holes filled: ![]() Laying out for the cuts (used a sawzall on the body): ![]() ![]() Cut: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

just something to think about..anytime I weld in steel thats hidden from coating like under that body mount channel I like to spray it with weld through primer..Its a cold galvinizing primer that you can weld through with no ill effects..wont burn with the heat...other than that great job..and good to see you have your son helping you out..times to cherish

Looks like you're on the right track. Doing a good job so far. Ditto on the weld-thru primer.

Guys, thanks for the help and suggestions!!! Ok, Friday (at work) I search the net for this "cold galvanizing primer" and find it at Fastenal. The stuff's not cheep. Confirm they have it in stock, and pick up a can after I get off work. (thanks Scrambled) Since my family is in Virginia for the weekend I'm not going to hang around, so off to N. Raleigh to help a friend try to bend some 2" pipe for his engine cage. He has some nice steel but his H/F hydraulic bender was not fun to use. We decide instead to weld some D-ring tabs to his bumper and then add side mounting plates to wrap the frame. Got home bout 12:45 am, misplaced my wallet and finaly crashed. Today allowed me to get to Lowes, get a new 4.5" grinder, back to the house and then leave with another friend to look at new Electra glide Classics and Street glides in Fayettenam and Ashboro to replace the one he totaled last month. No luck on the on a replacement, but enough time left in the day to fire up the borrowed sand blaster and make a mess, bend another piece of steel, drill some holes for the roll bar bolts, and spray some zinc primer on the two pieces and the inside of the channels. No welding on my own rig today, I'll set the two pieces I've got ready tomorrow and weld em in tomorrow once my boy gets home.

With the drivers side cleaned up I pretty much lined up the new piece, set a few pop rivets and welded er up.
![]() One inch fender washers are going to work perfect to fill all of the drain holes: ![]() Pass side lined up, pop rivets to hold front, few tacks and the game is on ![]() Trim the back edge ![]() Cleaned up ![]() Some more zinc primer ![]() Inside tub shots ![]() ![]() Tool collection point ![]() My buddy Miller ![]() . |

Few more pics from today: I filled 7 of these today, the rest I'll have to get once I turn the tub back over: ![]() ![]() ![]() What a sorry repair the PO did, left the old mess to collect dirt and mud, and covered it with a 20 ga piece of tin. Cut this out with a nibbler, worked well, nice tool. Going to have to cut out a lot more and remove the repair piece: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Well we finished sandblasting the bottom of the tub Sunday. (my son's been at wrestling camp, and I have not been motivated) flipped the tub and started brushing on the rust neutralizer. Welded up the top side of the roll bar area repairs and sprayed some zinc primer.
Hope to cut out the front floor boards this weekend and make patterns for the new steel. More pics soon. |
