It has been a busy week. I know some folks do not agree with using used tires, but this week, we were able to harvest the tires from the donor Isuzu truck. (9R-22.5's) took them to the tire store and had them transferred to the 6400's rims. Even the folks at the tire shop said that these are in nice condition. They are now on the truck, and it is nice to have it on good tires for now. I took the old rims, 450 pounds worth, to the scrap yard.
We got the radio dash repair panel and plan to start on that this week. I have the glove box door repaired and am blocking it now. I will be pulling the right door and front fender soon to start on the lower hinge area. (There is some rust in this area, mice got in here and the nest caused some damage.) It has an aftermarket radio antenna, and they did not route the cable very well. I need to find the correct OE route. I would like to start painting those items as I work around the truck.

Excuse me for butting in here.
You may have known this thread as "What did you get done on your “Bolt” today? - Part 2" and you may or may not have known we had some major fixing to do about that.
Let me 'splain (if you are interested, confused, or neither ... if neither, just move along then).
This thread actually comes from the original thread -- "What did you get done on your “Bolt” today?" -- started back in 2005 that had several other similar posts/threads added to it over the years. And those were the days before we had the ability to include images (other than links to images -- some of you will remember me fussing about this! ).
This topic has had a lot of traction and many found it helpful in their own build. Kinda like a mini Project Journal .... some *very* mini.
So we decided to split up the two (while we were restructuring and repairing the original thread of 2005), since the newer posts may be more helpful. The older posts are worth keeping and will come in handy in any searches out there.
From here out, all the posts about what you got done on your Bolt today (or thereabouts ) will be posted in here. Especially since the 2005 thread is now locked but still good for reading.
Not really "done on" but "done for". I'm working to get the ole girl into shelter (trying to finish the floor on an OT project so I can get that body back on its frame - then I have shelter for Ole Red.) First real snowfall we've had, "great start to 2021" (sarcasm) and in the interests of being able to move it mid-winter, I've got to keep her mobile.
No, I'm not a fan of tarps - but the door seals leak (I"ve got replacements just ran out of time) and for the short term this has kept it dry inside - definitely not preferred though and I'll let it breathe asap.

Built a drag link tool today and tried getting the drag link off the front axle to get it in the queue to be rebuilt this winter. But the dang plug was too rusted in place and bent my new tool (built out of a crowsfoot wrench and a piece of a thick washer.) Will try again in a day or two after soaking it in PB blaster.
