Another Call For Help!
« 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

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.
