Back on the Pilot. Inner fender mounts being a pain with the welded in rusty nuts. No problem, cut them out and weld the bracket back together. Sidelines no more.

ugh, rusty stuff is the only drawback to old trucks! nice solution though, I would have drilled through it and been disappointed.
 
Tried to drill them out Joe, no luck. Got the inner mounts done. Nice weather today, figured gain some ground on the trailer. Have run about 6 full loads of demo trash to the dump, bill is running about $300 total now. Not bad for such a solid frame with a title. We will get some $ for the aluminum siding, but not much I suppose. This demo needs to be done quick, quite the eyesore while in progress. This is my 2nd demo, learned much from the Class A motorhome we did. The sawzall works wonders. :D

Pesky inner fender mounts done. Front clip fits good now. Plan to go get some S10box nuts and bolts tomorrow and bolt things up. Stoked to get the front end attached.

Thanks Joe. Agree with your remark about stout Mopar metal back in the day Torchie. Messed up and ignited my welding jeans with hot metal. :eek:

Saw this awesome sunset after I was done in the shop tonight.
