Worked on the back half of the cab today and tack welded the cut outs from the bed to make the bottom half of the extended cab. And again no pictures again, maybe tomorrow or another day this week. I have a friend that has access to several Mig welders and hopefully they have Argon gas. If so, the bed and cab are going to get some major finish welding done on it. Not sure what I will do after this opportunity to use the Mig welders, it will be a long wait to have another opportunity to use them again.
Went to Uhaul today to order the Class III tow hitch for the Wife's (Lisa) Nissan Xterra and it will be capable to start towing these parts around after Christmas. I will need a trailer next and it looks like a full 16 footer this time because I will have to load the frame on it at some time to get the under coating done, as well as the cab, hood, fenders, and bed for finish work. I will also be needing parts from other trucks/cars for finish work in the cab such as leather seats (Driver electric and both heated) center console, and some sort of drop down seats for the back depending on how much room I have left.
I was talking to my wife tonight at dinner about taking the rear window out due to replacing it with some sort of old stile slider. That is when I thought of the Tundra Crew Max I just traded in that had an electric drop down sliding rear window. How hard could it be? I will be Researching these a lot to find the best and most inexpensive way to get it in on this truck (It doesn't have AC, and I really do not plan to have it..... yet) So the more windows the better I would say!
Still finishing school and making minor maintenance adjustments to the Audi..... This is not a cheap car to buy things for. So more will follow and I hope someone is getting a good read or laugh out of this blog.... promise.... pic this weekend or sooner!
