Not as good as I would like. Lots of work to get it to your caliber.

BTW Happy Thanksgiving. Are you going to get some garage time over the holiday?

69CST-V · 11-23-2012, 04:38 PM

69CST-V · 11-23-2012, 04:41 PM

Getting ready for the new floor.

raull · 11-23-2012, 04:47 PM

sweet metal work !!!!!

69CST-V · 11-23-2012, 07:10 PM

Well its adult beverage time. Back at it tomorrow.

**oldman3** · 11-23-2012, 09:54 PM

Holy sh!t you took the whole thing apart. Floor looks great, along with the panel repairs so far....Jim

cleanshaven84 · 11-24-2012, 12:03 AM

Definitely jealous of your shop bud, lol. Looks like you are grabbing the bull by the horns and jumping right in. How much of a pain was it to pull the floor like that? It's pretty much all spot welds right? I'll be rebuilding my floor soon and that looks like a tempting route. Keep up the good work.

The floor wasn't bad. The only spot welds were along the back panel with the way I did it. First I braced the cab, then off of the bracing I made a fixture to locate all the critical parts of the floor and panels. Then I just cut down the A and B pillars along the rocker panel. Then across the toe board.

69CST-V · 11-24-2012, 07:35 PM

Started on the cab corners today. Here is the passenger side. Hung the door to check the gaps.

69CST-V · 11-24-2012, 07:42 PM

Started the drivers side cab corner. Ran into all kinds of headaches. So I'm going to leave it for tomorrow.

I have to say for as many of these replacement parts I see being used on this board and elsewhere. You would think they would have gotten there fitment a little better then it is by now. Rant Over....

xpickup · 11-24-2012, 07:59 PM

69CST-V, damn you are moving on this thing. Looks great. How about a picture of your bead roller. Keep up the great work.
