DoubleL's '66 Project

Nice truck welcome to the forum. Sorry about the p.o. some are very scandalous. I've seen it all then I get surprised again. Bailing wire, bondo over chicken wire, cardboard and over 2" thick also. A new door skin glued over the old one, it looked pregnant. I can go on and on. Being your DD I understand using a rusty inhibitor and even fastening steel over the rusted area for now. Our trucks are known for rusted out areas like this. I would even expect the inner and outer rockers look that as bad. Do what you need to for now. If you plan it out, have experience or a friend with it can all be done over a weekend or a vacation week from work. Just remember one thing, have fun enjoy working on your truck. Good luck.

I guess I am a typical man. I want to "get things done". What I'm learning on this truck is that the "doing" is just as enjoyable as the end product. I am learning a lot about the electrical system and will be learning welding and bodywork. I think it is good to keep learning new things.

I am very patient now. Started my redstomod rebuild in Aug 2009. It took me time to do the floors and rockers. The paint and bodywork took 11 months. Family comes first. I enjoy working on my truck, my fun time. Hope to be done by Aug 2013.
