texican 07-03-2002, 03:23 PM Dusty one of the LSC members has his Cruiser in for some surgery, it had some rust.....we decided to repair before we built a new cage for it. first pix is the hole cut out to repair........ Butch texican 07-03-2002, 03:26 PM This is the piece Josh fabbed up to go over it, bear in mind this is done with a torch, vice and mig....the boy would be bad ass with some more equipment!!! It's 1/8" diamond plate. Next step, weld it in, do the other side, have the bed lined and build a cage! Butch Kyle LePage 07-03-2002, 03:55 PM Nice work! How are, or are you planning to add gussets under the fender to help support the cage? Will it be a full "family" style cage? helocat 07-03-2002, 04:01 PM I remember Dusty from Moab, this looks way too fancy for him. I think he would prefer part of an old fender off a 1961 Shiner delivery truck. :D :D Quote from camping next to the LSC guys…. Butch: “Hwo drank the last cawld Shiner?.... You got to put mowre in the iice chest, when you take one out!” Dusty: “It was’nt me.. I’m drink’en the waarm stuff” The wheal well looks great, like you used a bending brake and shear! wngrog 07-03-2002, 04:04 PM Originally posted by helocat I remember Dusty from Moab, this looks way too fancy for him.

OK, that is the pot calling the kettle black! I saw that group of ruffians you were camping with :flipoff2: ! You got the phoenetics of "Dusty Talk" down pretty good though! Nice work Butch, time for the business to pick up a Plasma Cutter.... texican 07-03-2002, 04:11 PM It will be a family style cage, Dusty told Josh to "go crazy" so I guess anything goes, it can't be any wilder than Mace's......at least I don't think it can???? I won't let him put a phallic symbol like Mace has anyway. Hellocat, Dusty has way more class than he appears......hell of a wheeler. Warm beer don't bother him though. Butch Jason M 07-03-2002, 04:20 PM :D I like my Phallic Symbol Looks real good. One thing though. Why does everyone replace panels with Diamond plate?????? helocat 07-03-2002, 04:20 PM Originally posted by texican Hellocat, Dusty has way more class than he appears......hell of a wheeler. Warm beer don't bother him though. Butch Ya he saw me juggling a Birfeild (Trying to keep it out of the Slick Rock Campground’s idea of a grassy camp sites.. 4” of dirt) trying to clean it one of our guys. ;) He just reached right in helped out. Seems like a great guy. I did get the impression one does not leave an unattended case of beer next to him! :D texican 07-03-2002, 04:28 PM It's what we had on hand in this case, it don't show warping from welding or it don't warp because of the diamonds maybe......you got something against diamond plate? Butch Jason M 07-03-2002, 04:55 PM Nope nothing against it at all. (sheesh, touchy touchy) (I get a good mental pic of you sticking your chest out and trying to look tough while saying that ;) ) Good points on the warping thing though... texican 07-03-2002, 05:00 PM I meant nothing by that remark, other than "you got something against diamond plate?'' I thought perhaps your mom had a paddle made from it or something Maybe I should have added one of these....... :flipoff2: Although after seeing the patch, it would really look bad ass to cover the entire inner fenders with it....
