Re: 1968 C10 Snow Bird
I got some pics of me replacing the driver's side cab corner over the weekend. I didn't get any until I started fitting the new panel back on though. But what I did was figured out a line where I wanted to do the repair and used masking tape to create a strait line on the patch panel. Then I used my cut of wheel to cut along the taped edge. I cut just off of the edge a little and used my 90deg die grinder with a roll lock disk to finish it in. "80 grit" That was it for my patch panel. Now on to the cab. I trimmed some material off the bottom of the cab corner that way I could fit the patch panel. Then I used a scribe to mark where I wanted to make the cut when I was happy with where it was sitting. Clecos are a great for fitting and holding panels in place. I made the cut and used some butt welding clamps to tack very thing in place. I also used a 3/8 135 deg split point drill to drill out the spot welds.
