Title: Another Call For Help!
Post by: reefreshd_jive on July 08, 2004, 10:26:15 PM

so who wants more beer?
John has been able to track down a whole new frame and pan, with a strong bulk head!
now comes my dilema of takng my body of the frame, welding in a new passenger heater channel, and then putting my body on the new frame.
-switching drums
-maybe the tranny
-installing adjustable beam
-etc...
i know this is alot of work as i have been told by a few people. however i need to do it!
can anyone help, or if i have to, a shop that has good rates?
thanks
james.

I sure hope your getting a lot of cool extras or some money back on this, but I am sure I can find some time to lend a hand.  :D

THis is like a pan off resto...New bolts, everything.. Mass amounts of work....
Sorry dude we can't help on this one... You would be talking about buying a liquor store for the amount of beer you would need!!

In my opinion you should just get your money back from this guy and go find something else. Your about spend a shit load of cash when you could go get something that is running and safe.
