66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap

Here ya go Notch!

Moving along with the rust repair. Made a pile of relief cuts, did a lot of bending and hammering. Rocker is all fit up ready to weld in. Going to wait on that until I get the cab sand blasted.



Finished a bit of work on the passenger floor. Had to weld in a small sliver from a previous crappy fit up. Replaced a piece of the trans tunnel hump as well.



Moved on the the kick panel firewall seam. Drilled out all the spot welds and made a template for what i wanted to replace.



Transferred the template to some 18g and cut it out. once i was happy with the fit I cut out the kick panel section.



Made the bends for where the fire wall gets spot welded to the kick panel. Fine tuned the fit and its ready to weld in.



The inside of the door pillar was pretty rusty. Found a rust encapsulator product from Eastwood with a long hose and 360 Degree nozzle. Shoved it up the pillar and coated the whole inside top to bottom. Will let that cure overnight and start welding in the kick panel patch tomorrow.
