Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

patch outline.



i'm figured out that if i just hold a piece of paper (in this case, an old travel magazine page) against the hole, and rub with a crayon, it creates a perfect outline of the edges of the hole i need to patch. yes, kindergarten antics for a 20 year old. haha. knew i'm going to college for something...

and the outside patched.



i have the inside plate on as well, just it was tricky to weld since i didn't take the doors off. oh well. it's on. lol.

there are also some small rust throughs on the bottom lip, so i'm going to section them out, and i have patched cut out and bent up for the purpose.





and thats where she stands now.

i'm going to go play with the pipe bender some more, and if it goes anywhere near well...i'll update. but don't get my hope up. lol. .

well. let's hear it!

-Sam.
