Buget Resto...for $1500.

[JK5]

Buget Resto...update...

Well....I've got the cab welded...and the rear frame rails blasted and primed.
The Texas doors I had are installed and lined-up.
I'll have the frame painted this Friday...and get that clip edged-in...and install.
Then I can start throwing some mud.
I'm just moving right along...a week off work helped..

I've got about $800 into the project...so far.
I've got a complete clip now...and some new 33"Trxus m/t's...
I just need some paint, wheels, front seat (gray)
I'm considering using Imron insted of Omni paint...
LOL...I haven't sprayed Imron since 87'!!!

I'll get some pics up...as soon as Steve gets our new gallery up..

Sweet you will need to take alot of pics and do a write up. I am sure it will be asked "how cheap can I fix my truck".

Good luck with your project. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I would really like to see you do it for 1500, interior and all. YOu would be my hero. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif If you already have the paint and new sheetmetal it probably could be fairly easy. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

I'll do a detailed write-up for sure...and video. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
The wheels and tires...will be the tough part. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The rockers and the floor will be time consuming...
I expect to spend about 25 hours...especially since I need cab supports also. /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif

Here's the inner and outer rockers..
The inners I made..the outers were $10 ea.

Here's a pic from my black k5 project..the finished product.

Hmm, for $1500 you could get any rust free 2wd longbed you want out here and buy the gas to drive it back and still be under budget /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'd do that if I needed a bed...
I'm going to make a flatbed..I have the steel..for that too!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
