Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

Tynee, this really isn't bad. The welding in these areas is basically hidden, so if you are a novice, don't sweat it. Welding sheetmetal always looks bad until you clean the welds up, unless you are TIGing it. I was lucky in that I didn't have to do the inner structure around the front of the floor and inner rocker. Welding the new rocker on was probably the easiest part of the whole job. Taking the old one off was the hardest.

Just my opinion, but the worst part of the body work is not the rust repair. It's the filling, primering, sanding cycle you have to go through to get things straight. Its a dirty, dusty tedious job that seems to never end and makes a huge mess of the garage.
