My lil'slice of paradise
Was in the yard looking for a fender and say this beauty! Buick Lesabre, this would make a sick Rat Rod!
Boom! Hitting it hard, first hour I had off in two weeks! Had @beautifulmysterious13 in the yard with me this morning! Ended up getting some cab corner speaker mounts, E-Brake, and the panel under the steering column. Had a blast with the love of my life this morning!!!
This is what I love about the Junkyard. This glove box, online 50$ the fasteners another 50$ I'm guessing. I walked out $7.50 for all of it. Lil gas in Mason jars cleans the bolts right up. Wash with water after and let dry. Rattle can black. Great way to save money on these restoration projects!
Foggy morning in the yard. Let's pull some cab hardware!
So I've been rebuilding this 78 gmc for awhile now and I have put alot of money into it. After scrolling through site after site looking at hardware, fasteners, different bolts misc items. They get really expensive, so I've came up with a pretty solid way to get great sets of bolts and misc items for rebuild. When I go to these junkyards and pull parts I always bring an impact gun with 3/8" drive attachment, and bags, also a sharpie to label what I pull so I'm not confused later. Then I go home and keep it all separated in jars while washing with gas. Then use paint filters (like 1$ for 1000 of them) wash off with water let dry and paint. I attached some pictures to relate to. I rattle can a coat while bolts are stabbed into cardboard, then turn them on their heads after they dry and hit the threads with a coat to help with seizing bolts or rusting again.
Here's a pic of what he have going down today. Primer and the new garage we are making the magic happen in.
Ok winter break is over and projects are picking up where we left off. Firstly, I got a new house and just got everything situated. When I left the old one my neighbor thought he would be a kick ass dude and give me a 1979 Chevy k10. Here is a couple pictures. Next up primer fenders hood and front clip.
