K1's build thread

I didn't get hardly anything done over the course of last week since I had to work late most nights this week and have been fighting a cold or my allergies...I can't tell which yet. Oh well there's always this week I suppose. Same goal as last week. Get the door back on by next Monday so I can fit up the rockers and finally put the welder away!!! If there is anything I have learned from all of this, it is to find a more rust free truck to work on for my next project.

Today I sealed the inside of the cab corner and welded shut the floor over top of it and sealed the welds up too. If I actually took my time welding it up you wouldn't have been able to tell I cut the floor at all, but patience is a virtue which I currently lack, so there's some warpage in the metal. Doesn't really matter much since it'll be covered with carpet anyways. Since I had the flap disc out I decided to dress the floorpan seams. Didn't do a half bad job on the floor if I say so myself.

Tuesday: Cut, fit, and weld up the B pillar. Dress the welds and seal the seams.

Wednesday: Cut, fit, and weld up the Front cab support. Dress welds and seal seams.

Thursday: Cut, fit, and weld up a floor pan patch for the drivers side toe board. Dress welds and seal seams

Friday: Cut, fit and weld up the kick panel and A pillar. Dress welds and seal seams.

Saturday and Sunday: Finish floor pan and trans hump patches (all have to be handmade), and cut, fit, and weld in cab corner (tentative...may reorder the part as mine doesn't look quite right)

Monday: Remount door and clean/sweep out garage

I really want the truck driveable by the end of the Month.
