Some progress. Have all the major structural and rust repairs done. Decided to play with the primer to show myself some progress. The cosmetic works hasn't really started yet.May start on the roll cage after I do the drivers side rear quater panel.

I wish mine were that close to being done. :(

Nice job! That's gonna be really clean. How much did you have to replace?

orangeuavol 11-10-2004 11:16 PM

replaced both rocker boxes and end caps, both front cab supports, both front lower door pillars, drivers lower rear door pillar, numerous sections of the bed floor, wheel tub flanges were shot and the bed floor under them, top corner windshield frame around where the visor goes, capped of the top corners of the windshield frame where the seal goes, both front floor pans, both lower kick panels, both inner rocker panels, outer rocker panels (to be completed when body in on the frame), both rear quater panels (one done, one waiting to be done).

It's not perfect nor show quality work, but it will be straight and solid when done.

No where near the work Gee Emm has done:)

What is a "quater" panel? LOL Must take after your Dad on spelling.

71RestoRod 11-11-2004 02:16 AM

Awesome, orangeuavol! That's a lot of work. Great job.

You can get both front floor pans and the complete front cab supports. You will diffinitely have to "tweak" the reproduction pans. The cab supports look like they were meant to be put over top of whats left of the original support. I cut the old supports completly out. The pans start at the firewall, goes back to where the tranny hump ends, and has half of the inner rocker.
