PEAK PUTTERS

Okay, so we have a fella in town with a small rust issue on his SII. No, not Steve. We got one without the optional factory rust. Nick Osiek has his rig somewhere on the wet side for some work, but the old boy doing it can't get to the floors until fall So, Nick would like to get some recommendations on who over here would be good to do the work. He has replacement panels, so that isn't an issue. All input is welcome

if i can see pictures of it ill give you an estimate on time and $

Just got an e-mail from Nick. David, he's unable to respond on the site yet. Can you help?? He wants to talk to '79 about the welding on his rig. Thanks...

Is his username NickO? I've activated his account already so he should be able to post.

If he still can't post guess I would need to know what happens when he tries to post or if he receives some type of error message.

That's him. I'll let him know...

OTAY!!! I work now.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, but I just managed to get logged in to this site.

I don't have any pictures of the rusty parts. However, I can describe what needs to be done:

1. Driver's floor is badly rusted along the seam with the rocker. I have new sheetmetal plus a new driver's/front body mount.

2. Outer rockers on both sides need to be replaced. Again, I have new sheetmetal.

3. We'll have to take a look at the driver's inner rocker.

4. I need to patch lower rear quarters, just behind the door. I have the patches.

I am looking for a structurally sound vehicle, not a show truck. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

im more than willing to do the floor pans and since im only 18 i work cheaply.........i can do the outside but it wouldnt look that great i can cut out the old and tack in the new no problem but welding the whole ext wouldnt look the best if i could look at it sometime i would be able to tell you more

and ive done a few sets of floor boards before

Yeah, and he wants to buy a Scout, Nick

This ought to set him straight. . .

well the one im lookin at is a half cab and the rust really isnt that bad its a 65 and the only rust problem ive seen is in front of rear passs tire which would get cut out anyways

So, Nick has the beast back. Not to happy with the geek who worked on it, either Who may have time later this week for a study session to see who has time and ideas to help with the floors in the thing Was hopeing to get Jose and Jim in on this, as well as 79. Let me know...Nick will see this, I hope

Body work?

I got nothin'. . .have Steve do it and keep it in the desert from now on.

Just figured you might enjoy a couple beers and some BS

Well that is true.

I guess that means I'm buying the beer?

He's an astute one, ain't he, James

i want to take a look at it before i throw out a number on price if he like me to do it

79 -- I sent you some e-mail. Lets get together to take a look at the project.

3:47 am Either the server is behind, or you have a serious issue

I am sooooo excited about getting my floors fixed that I can barely sleep!

So gang, anybody got a few minutes Thursday evening Like I'm liable to be busy

Uh, Cool Desert Nights will be taking priority for the rest of this week Nick, we may have to let you and 79 figure on things without any "assistance" from me or Steve Kinda forgot myself on what was up

ill be starting the Scout tomarrow after work

Cool. Bet Nick's ready to get goin' Hope you guys don't run into any other issues...Nick, did you go out to the yard, or do you need me to go pry those latches off that Scout

Since I have no idea where the yard is, I will at the very least need directions. Would love to have some company.

79 Chevy has the Scout, and I suspect is making big holes out of little holes by now. Really looking forward to getting this done. I be psyched!
