Anyone need some cash?

[Doyle]

I would like to have some cut and fold my lower rear quarters and trim my fenders. I am not adept at cutting up sheet metal, its generally goes poorly and ends up looking terrible. So, my question for you guys is, who wants some cash, I am willing to help, provide the beer, I just don't really want to put my spectacular body work skills to the test, shoot me an idea of where I could take it to get it done or if anyone wants to help a less than skilled wheeler out.

BTW and in the Portland area, would like to get this done sooner than later and am willing to drive to get it done.

Yep, I just dropped some cash on a new Sawzall last weekend. Will be cutting up my fenders, and folding the rear Qtr panels up as well real soon. There are some good write ups on how to do it. Search.

[PornstaR]

ah just buy a good set of left handed (green) and right handed (red) tin snips. Leaves a little better edge. And in the rear cutting and folding the rear wheel well over will save ya from cutting in a little too far...............

ask Dean he has gapping maw holes from some dork cutting it too far past the pinch seam

Not a hard task at all..... learning experience

[truckin6382]

I would do it, but Oregon is a little too far. If you want to come here and bring a bottle of 190 proof everclear, I will do it at my place.

[mojojojo]

p.m. me i am in Gresham. i can possibly help ya out depending on the day.

in the mean time here is a good write up.

I appreciate the links to write ups, have mostof them saved in my favorites, been waiting on doing this hoping I would dent or otherwise decently bend some sheet metal on my Jeep, that way I would not feel so badly about cutting it up, when I picked up my '98 I figured I would buy a dedicated trail rig instead of wheelin the daily driver, but I like the jeep too much to get a trail rig or tow rig to go with it lol

Doyle,

How much do you want to remove?
I like beer.
Are you re-using your flares?
I drink beer.
Are you trying to get this done before the TSF run?
I heart beer.

Ive got a power shear, die grinder, saws of all kinds,

and

I'm a consumer of beer.

If I'm in the running, I never heard about it.

And I have a ZJ that I use to *gasp* tow with. So at least I can still be part of the BFUF.

We use a term in street rod and race car building, "sneak up on it" If you want to do the job on your own, just take smaller bites!! Take a little bit of material off at a time. If your worried that you will do too much, just take some off and stand back and take a look at it. If you have welding equipment you can stitch the panels back together if you go too far!. Just take a deep breath, a swig off your beer, put a line on the panel with a permanent marker, and let er' rip!!

[Doyle]

Pat helped me out today, I use the term helped me loosely as it was more I kind of helped him, he trimmed the front, cut and fold rear, and boxed in the lower quarters. went awesome.

Only downside was I lost a tire on the way home, the whole wheel fell off on the left rear, only damage to the body was a big dent on the top of the wheel well and a decent push on the bottom corner of the back of the wheel well. The tow truck driver said that he thought my axle came out of the diff, I have no idea, the boys at work are going to have to look at it tomorrow and see what happened.

can't wait for the 20th just have to add longer brake lines in the front and get some disco's

[Doyle]

well got a pic of the damage not really bad at all, but we got it all trimmed and cut and folded

[mojojojo]

looks good man (not the dent, ouch!)

[Doyle]

I picked up door guards, should get them in the mail in about a week, now just have to find the rear 1/4 guards to cover the dent.

[GlueNTape]

Are you going to go with Diamond Plate?

[Doyle]

I loath diamond plate, probably find something like rusty's or similar where its just steel, have to figure out if I will have to pound the dent out or what.

I highly recommend THOR quarter guards. Contact Avanteone or T&A-XJ via p.m. for details. Several of us NW peeps are running them, and they will cover up that damage nicely.
