Cab support patina

It appears the patina is falling out.
Being from California this rust junk is rather foriegn to me.
Truck spent 1st 4 years of it life in Upstate NY and it shows.

I'm thinking I'm learning how to weld upside down

Re: Cab support patina

If I was shopping for another '68 and didn't have any connection with this one I'd never bought it.

Re: Cab support patina

Mine truck is a bit atypical. It has the usual rust in one cab corner and the inner rocker panels. Outer rockers are in pretty good shape but I'm sure they will be ugly on the inside when I get there. The cab supports are in super shape but the part that scares me is what I see in the kick panels that probably indicates some real issues in the cowl area.

Is patina really just rust you and live with?

Patina removal , here in Missouri, often times means you end up with much, much less than what you started with...

This makes my anxiety flare up.
Also why I'm hesitant to get into it.

1) drop in gas tank
2) deep set rear window
3) short deck lid
4) tail light bucket location
5) the amount of cancer in that RUSTANG !

Re: Cab support patina

Back to Chevy talk...sorry, I digressed. I wish I had some pictures of my project truck from before...disassembly happened prior to me owning a digital camera, let alone a camera phone. The truck did not look too bad with all the layers of bondo and paint that it had accrued in it's 23 years of existence before I bought it (neither did the Rustang). Before it was said and done most of the lower 10 inches of the truck had to be replaced. This included the substructure of the floor, lower door skins and bed sides, of course, rockers and cab corns...it was like someone backed it into the ocean when not in use. The front fenders were dang near perfect though...go figure!

Soooo, if that much rust flake can be jostled free in short order...It's got it and got it good. Brigning one back from the grave is not for everyone. It takes alot of patience and time AND you have to be prepared to except the finished product because panel replacement (at my shop) tends to show a little.

Re: Cab support patina

The rockers looks ok ish.
The cab supports are a wreck
As the the right cab corner is a mess.

I bought a small 220v miller welder.
Just anxious about this kind of project.
I hate fixing rust it never feels like it's right however its probably better with out the rust however.
