Ahh Good old rusty Ontario parts :-laf Looking good Oo. Shad

Yeah. I thought the door was somewhat useable. I put it on the bench and a HUGE section of lower door fell off and shattered into rust dust. :-laf

Thats when I realized I was not going to feel that bad about cutting into it.

 

[HHhuntitall]

HEY!! It's the poison Ivy doors!! Any of that left on them? :-laf



Okay, so I'm impressessed. I never would have thought of using the lift for body work. I'd have used a skid steer or trackloader or something... . That's a classy act, there!! It's coming together. Getting more impressive as it comes along!! WOW!

Good memory there HH! LOL

What you don't see in the pics is the fact that I have had an old towel over the bottom of the door for the entire time I have been working on the door! I don't know how long the stuff stays active, but I don't want that stuff on me again!

Samples of Urushiol several centuries old still caused irritation. The amount of poison ivy you can fit on the head of a pin would irritate 500 people. It only takes a billionth of a gram to cause irritation. 1/4 of an ounce would cause a rash on every person on the planet.

I'd melt that door down or bury it in a hole 6 feet deep. I hate poison ivy! I can get it just by looking at it!

He has gauges to tell him what the other gauges are doing,,That's wild

 

[RSchwarzli]

Well that just looks stupid. :-laf

There is a point that is overdoing it. And its about one more gauge than I have got for the truck.

(BTW starting to work on gauges this weekend. You guys are going to flip out when you see what I have done..... and its a lot more classy than ferd boy there... . )
