First cuts!....
wow it looks really different now!.....All in all it went well....The Sawzall is your friend for this one...I cut above the lines to leave myself extra material in case I need it.....Now all thats left is the floor....maybe tonight....
Im keeping the larger part of the roof panel for sheetmetal and may end up using other off cuts for structure....
Im going to start a running tally on costs and try to sell the parts I have saved off the car to help fund this wacky project......
So far I have had the following costs:
Donor Car: 200.00
Trailer plug: 25.00
Diesel Fuel: 50.00
Hinges: 25.00
Sawsall blades: 15.00
Total so far: 315.00
I will have the following future costs:
trailer tongue material: 100.00
Tires: 100.00
Tail lights: 50.00
stabilizer jacks: 30.00
Trailer tongue wheel: 40.00
Future costs for the above: 300.00
Additional costs include sheet metal, primer, paint, bondo, and a host of other items like DOT inspection, registration, plates, ect......
It certainly adds up....Hope I can sell some of those extra parts!
I will definitely be able to recoup about 100.00 at the scrap yard......
thanks for looking!
