Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration
For the most part, the cab/chassis part of this build is done except for final body work and paint so I’m full steam ahead on working the rear box now. The Eastwood plasma cutter is getting a good workout! What an awesome tool it is.
Picking up where I left off last year, I am replacing some of the diamond plate floor that was rotted as shown in pic #1 below. After that I will install the new C channel frame rail.
The front outer side panel is only getting the bad section replaced. Pic #2 shows that I cut the bad area out using the plasma cutter and have the new piece ready to be welded in.
From that panel rearward (or upward going by the photo) will be all new metal. Here I’ve removed the rest of the old side panel. See pics #3, #4 & #5
