progress! at last!

well.

after spending my friday night playing music with some friends in a basement, and a week of classes, i decided to get going on the truck again.

today, was the firewall, as the title indicates.


after taking the heater off, i discovered a small bit of rust. not alot. only a small bit, but enough to make me want to repair it.


patch panels! thank you 1967 C10.


close enough is good enough, eh?


rust cut out. new metal in.


yay for welding.


ew. more rust. and some cut out.


patch clamped in. i know they're plastic spring clamps. but they came off before they were melted...too bad.


primered over.

and. thats about it. took about..3 hours. yeah, i took a while. its okee.

and don't laugh about fluxcore. it works. for the most part...lol.

.later days.
.sam.

Re: progress! at last!

my thoughts exactley...

besides. a semi-rust free repair is better than no rust repair at all...

it just eases the mind knowing the heater blower isn't going to just fall off someday...hah.

thanks for the response.
