Just like I was told all throughout grade school, it has potential...

Her she is

Welcome. It looks like you have a project on your hands alright. It does have the potential though. What are your plans for it?

Thanks for posting it up man! Other than the areas in the front the body looks super straight.
Let us know if you need any help!

Slammerd: I plan on making it real clean and simple, with a decent power to weight ratio.

mk-zero: You know any good deals on a mig and sheet metal...

Nothing wrong with clean and simple. It follows the KISS rule(Keep It Simple Stupid) and let us not forget about power, can you ever have too much???

I got my mig at Sears as an open box discount, but Harbour Freight carrys them as well(dont know the quality). I would recommend getting one that has a gas shield though(much cleaner welds). I am sure the local boys can help you out a little better.

Yeah, what Slammerd said, definitely get a MIG welder, not a wire-feed flux core unit. You can get a pretty nice setup for around 500 bux.

Here's the inside...









I have complete pan halves, yet to install...

Thanks for posting up, looks like a good project

Nice project! Is that the wire harness hanging down by the driver's side door?

The grey piece? Yes that is the wiring harness conduit.
