Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Very nice job Ian . There can't be much left on that cab you haven't repaired . Looks like you are getting there though. Will we all be done by the end of the year though that's the big question.

You are a metal craftsman. Great thread about a very nice truck.

Truck wise I’ve had a bit of a “slow start” to 2017, I managed to get a piece of rusty metal in my eye, which resulted in a 6 hour visit to the ER. The metal was dug out but the wound ended up becoming infected so I’ve been sporting an eye patch. Which I thought made me look like this But my wife reckoned I looked more like this Oh, and I had a chest infection too. Anyway, I finally got back on the truck last weekend and got the pillar repair finished, if I say so myself it may be the best repair on the truck so far. So back onto the door I got from Rian, the media blasting had revealed more holes than expected in the door. Don (Ta2Don) had supplied a repair patch so I just had to decide what to weld up and what to patch.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
The two worst, most distorted sections of the door were cut out and I made repair pieces from the patch,
the rest of the holes would be welded up. This is as far as got on Sunday the welds will require a fair bit of metal finishing but at least all of the welding is done on the door.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Sorry about the eye Ian, and this chest infection thing really is a bugger.
You have done very well with the repair. At least you have thick metal now.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Sorry to hear about your eye . I've been there and done that myself. I have to agree with your wife on the way you look with a patch though. Good start on the door

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
I’ve finally got the door finished and ready for primer, the last few weeks have been bash-fill-sand ….Repeat , I’m so glad it’s done.
I also need to paint the door shut before I hang the door, I began prepping it a few weeks ago and discovered bondo in the windscreen pillar (oh dear) a bit of grinding revealed the drip rail was rotten. Luckily once it was removed the actual windscreen pillar turned out to be solid (albeit a little pitted). I ordered new ones from Steve Lang at Langy’s Rod Shop, sadly Steve passed away shortly afterwards following a long battle with cancer and the world lost another great hotrodder and all round good guy (RIP Steve). Using the old rail as a template I drilled holes in the new rail to “spot weld” them on. The welding was a very straight forward task, however, finish grinding was a bit of a pain as the access is tight. I read a number of threads where the owners had used panel adhesive to attach the drip rails, I’ve never used it before so “bottled it”. I may give it a try on the other side (if it needs doing) Anyway it’s fitted and seam sealed, next job is to prep and paint the door shut.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
I agree that it is looking good and I've still got body work to do too if I ever get that far.

I love that Ian just quietly gets on with stuff. Those door patches look awesome every time I look at them.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Thanks Bill.
I am sure it will be heart and souls destroying digging deeper and deeper, but it has to be done. Getting it right really is the only option, as Ian and you have I Demonstrated.

Nice repair to that door Ian, but why does everyone want to cut great big speaker holes in them!

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Great repair on the door . All I can say is there is more getting on up north than down south . You and bill are really starting to make headway.

I am closing the holes in my doors as well when I get to them. That door repair really looks great Ian. I think our excuse down South is that we have both had stuff happen and continue happening behind the scenes that needs tending, taking Focus away from hobbies. I really do hope Martin posts up a 10 photo report or more than that of the one project he has been on recently. You guys will be blown away. I certainly was.

Great repair work on your door and the paint is looking very nice too.
The type of work you do inspires the rest of us.
