Tacos in St. Louis area

There are supposed to be drain holes lol

The body panels weren’t the issue. The coating on the frame didn’t hold up causing excessive rust. It would eat a NEW hole in the frame where one was not supposed to be

 

People from Belleville are sketchy. Jot that down.

Truck frames are C channel with a few boxed sections but they are open to vent. I’ve boxed the rear of my frame to add some rigidity but it’s still open in the front and rear of the addition.

The sheet metal gets a clean wash, a rust preventative wash, primer, and paint. After assembly the car goes through the weather inspection and used to get a spray wax. Dunno if they do the wax anymore.

The trucks frames just get a spray with no surface prep.

 

yes i know, just trying to make funny

 

We can put some holes in it for you if you want

 

Cue “Crazy Mike.”

 

what am i getting myself into
i could probably use some more holes what the heck

 

map
this map shows I have not been to St Louis area in quite awhile (2oo7 was the last time i think)

they did away with i70 over the Mississippi (combined with 55 and 64) and made a new bridge for it? or was the MLK bridge re purposed?
i have to look at that map more closely
when was Stan Musial Veterans Memorial built?
it looks like 44 was extended a bit further north

 

You know that when u ride in my truck you are recorded, let me get them tapes and share, but ill give you the opportunity to collect your thoughts and reconsider

 

Well........ It's a hate/dislike relationship with that truck

 

I'll be at Mod day around noon hopefully on Saturday, got some papers to go sign.

 

I'll be at mod day sometime Saturday. Getting my reroute THIS Saturday and I'm gonna have them put my brake lines in as well, they were going to become a problem if I kept messing with them. All I'm gonna need to do is put my skids on, do some additional cutting and retorque my wheel spacers

 

With some luck this will be the last modday I miss!

 

Bringing a truckload of parts to install too?

 

Haha not unless @mcharfauros wants to buy a brand new never installed shrockworks bumper for his wife's 4runner. Good deal and no 15 week lead time or shipping. Also have a power steering cooler as well. Maybe next month depending on the insurance settlement lol

 

I’m just over here channeling my inner @Tacomania



Update: got it

 

I hope to make it by noon-ish as well.

 

A month ago or so. 19 Camary 10,000 miles 13k damage. I feel your pain. ( wife's ride)
