Thanks! When I get done with the roof, I'll be mucho happy! We have two hurricanes headed my way so I want to get it done by Monday. I'm going to finish the top with white Rhinoliner. I did it to my camper and really like it.
The roof has been kicking my tail for almost a month now. Heres some progress
This stuff works pretty good...with added elbow grease and a wire brush
Manged to cut a 4' long patch piece.
Getting there. Got one coat of primer...bodywork not done yet.
Looks good in the shade
What I started with
Got the rear corner almost buttoned all the way up again. I welded ţwo tabs on the inside of the roof so all I had to do was lay the corner on and tack it. You can see I still have to replace metal up the side almost to the first door.
I'll be glad to be done with the roof!
So, I used the bottom of my donor tailgate as the rear drip rail. Had the grind off the pinch weld . The four holes..I figured would help with drainage. But looking at it installed, I'm thinking water may run up under it to the door seal. That won't be a problem as long as the seal seals!
Then...
I had to cut off the whole back piece so I could treat the trust and coat it.
Made another actual drip place on the rail . These vans had no way for the rain to escape...thus, rust.
Went to the right rear roof corner and spent some quality time there today.
It was worse than I thought but I was in a good mood and commenced to cutting, grinding, fabbing and welding.
Going to reweld the roof part after shoring up the inside
Rewelded some bad factory welds
A couple of new...
Nice hidee hole!
I lost everything in the last divorce so I'm under Harbor Freight tarp. Im happier though!
Had a 30' X 50' shop before the tarps....
Smile on my face again...priceless
This heat! ....killing my fun time! Got a few more pieces made. Should ave gone a little further forward. Gotta make a little piece up there. Going to tackle the other corner today...in retrospect, should have made both drains before putting the first one up. Live and learn!
