Re: 55 TF Stretched Cab/Fleetside/LSx/Trailblazer Frame

Yesterday was a good day - between the rainstorms. I finished pulling the quarter out. I'm happy with the final results. You can see the flash rust from the rain. I did cheat to speed this up.

Following your thread I bought that Metal Bumping book and have since re-watched all the "favorited" vids on YT.
Your build has again got me learning new things or at least a good refresher course. It keeping me keep my game up.
Thanks.


Well Bomp, I cheated. I cut the absolute worst part out - for two reasons. I needed to get behind it to Porta power the Jam into final position, and I want this repair done with minimal filler. I have a hull of a 66 LeMans at my friend's salvage yard that I used for sheet metal when I was building the car. About the only thing left that wasn't completely beat up was this part of the Driver's Quarter - and it was slightly dented.





The door Jam came out great.



Like I said, the rain is killing me (Flash flood watches/warnings today and tonight). I have to get my 55 cab braced up to move it out of the garage - so I can move the GTO in. So today I'll be working on the Truck cab bracing while it pours rain outside. As always, more to come.
