deuce sheetmetal

[BFR]

Anyone want to comment as to whether or not the following parts from a gasser will fit on a multifuel?
--battery box door
--tool box under driver's door
--step under both doors
--hood
--fenders (I know the passenger side will need some sawzall work for the exhaust)

thanks,
Joel

also... has anyone ever disassembled a fender along the seem that runs across the rear?

Yes to everything except the fender. If you swap both fenders you should be OK except for under hood space. Its quite a squeeze. Compare the height of the grills. When I did the wrecker I swapped to multifuel front fenders. With the gasser grill I couldn't close the side panels at all. After a few days of pondering I measured grills and the gasser grill is shorter. Changed to a multifuel grill and all was well.

What seam?

 

[BFR]

measured and the gasser grill is indeed shorter, which is too bad as my gasser grill is in way better shape than the multi

You'll need tha gasser grill if you use them gasser fenders.

this one (this is the rear of the passenger fender)

Naw, haven't tried that one yet. Thats rustpoint central for fenders though.

 

[red devils dude]

air chisel and a MIG welder should work.

Ken - It seems (pun intended) that BFR is referring to the seam where the front and rear sections of the fender are joined, right about on line with the front of the door.

BFR - Since the rear fender section overlaps the front, the front metal is on a downward slope underneath the rear part. My seams aren't as bad as yours, so my thought was to to wirebrush down to bare metal and soak the seam with rust converting primer, hoping the primer would wick in between thw two pieces of metal and convert any hidden rust. Think that would work?

Also, why change the sheet metal to gasser parts? Wouldn't you also have to change the hood?
