Re: 1969 Short Wide
thanks Scott.
Thanks Kyle, not so fast, still have rust to fix! dang it. Quote:
I bought the floor pans from Kenny's trucks but they are the same as LMC. It is pretty thin like .035" thick I think? (not correct to the oem) Mine didn't have the brake at the front either. If you are doing a short repair like I did on the driver side it's not too bad. But because the panel shape is off it pulled when I got it where it need to be at the seam. In hindsite, I should have left the gap at the front seam and made the floor match. I had no less than 15 hours in just the front pan and kick panel (another POS!). The UPOL weld through primer I ordered online. HERE is where I got mine from. It was 2 years ago though. You may be able to find it somewhere else cheaper? I haven't seen it locally, but maybe one of OKC car paint stores carry it? Quote:
Thanks Drew, You are welcome to use mine any time. The passenger side didn't spot weld as good as the driver. I'm not sure if I waited too long after the weld through primer was added or what? I ended up drilling and mig welding half of it. When I "tweaked" the rocker it broke several of the spot welds. Ideally, I think bare metal to metal works the best for spot welds but I was worried about rust starting right away so I coated both with the Upol. |
