Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Well, I haven't actually accomplished any work, but I did accumulate some parts. That's gotta count for something right?

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
I did work on it a bit yesterday, but the front cab support really kicked my butt, so I had to walk away. Maybe today will be different.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Okay, so today wasn't much different. I think I'm making a career out of this cab support
Judging by the test-fitting, I've got some work to do. |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Well, I didn't get much real work done this weekend. I'm trying to figure out how to get the old rear cab support out of there. So, in the mean time I'm test fitting the floor peice, and I think it's going to work.
Yeah, I've got some patching to do here |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Cool tools. That will definitely help. Just went through some of those very same patches on my Jezebel project. There are lots of pics in the project link as well as others saved elsewhere if you need to see something that would help you with your project. Not sure I could be used as an example or for advice but if I can assist in any way let me know. I cant travel to Utah and do the work for you though....

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
I haven't really made as good of progress as I would like though. It will be nice to start putting pieces back on instead of cutting them off.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Okay, so I got to play yesterday and today!
I must preface these pictures with the fact that I'm definitely a novice, but I have a better understanding of what I'm doing for the driver's side. My first tack of a new piece!! Yeah for me! Notice the gaps I'm going to need to patch in  Front cab support seems to line up fairly well: |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Now for my problem area. When I measured to cut this, I didn't take into account that the rear was sagging which caused my measurements to be off. Refer to my last post about learning what not to do
First scary cut with my new plasma! With these next pictures, you should be able to see my issue. I hope I'll be able to fix it, but it's going to require some patching and bracing....boo. |
