Re: '64 rustbucket longbed former farm truck

Haven't been able to get anywhere near the garage time I want due to various other obligations and a low-grade cold that seems to want to sap all my energy.

Did find time to start fixing a screwup I found after I'd pulled the radiator support.



I didn't notice that my welding had warped the second patch downwards on the passenger side. It is significant enough that the bolt hole for the rad support would be too close to the top to actually get a bolt in.



The fender flange also has a similar bend.



I ground & cut the welds along the side, bent the whole thing upwards, and tacked it in the right place. There is now a gap along that edge, so re-welding it will be a delight.



Much closer now. The outer corner is still a bit low, but I should be able to fix that with some hammer work once the inner fender comes off.



Wednesday was our regular weekly gaming night, I got our gaming friends to help me remove the hood so I can finish dis-assembling the inner sheetmetal.
