This weeks body shop progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Yukon Jack** · 03-08-2004, 02:10 PM

To prevent the other thread from getting to long I am starting a new thread for this weeks progress. Here is a link to last weeks thread http://64.246.42.114/vboard/showthre...threadid=93181

Okay, have to jump back to Friday though to show a cab corner being replaced. Turned out there was a bunch of rust on some old bondo so out it went.

And in with the new one.

Also body guy got the bullet hole in the roof repaired. Here is a before and after though you really can't see it in the after pic, blends in too well.

Looking good!!!!! How did you get a bullet hole on the top of the cab?

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-08-2004, 02:36 PM

I was thinking the same thing! Looking good!

Wild bill Mark, did you forget to set the safety??

**Yukon Jack** · 03-08-2004, 03:48 PM

I can honetly say it wasn't me! First time I even knew it was there was when I went out to the truck one rainy afternoon and saw some papers on the seat were wet. Looked up and saw a drip formed on the roof. Just glad it wasn't a shotgun blast!

**Tim Christian** · 03-08-2004, 09:17 PM

Looking Good! Mark I can not wait to see it done.

Mike C · 03-08-2004, 11:05 PM

Are you using a wire feeder...?

krue · 03-08-2004, 11:32 PM

Looks good!

Blue Beard, the body guy is using a Mig welder, but that is all I know about it.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-12-2004, 02:01 PM

Progress has been a bit slow this week, but me being a patient guy, that is not a big problem.

With any luck the interior will be in color today. Here are some pics the body guy just sent to me of the cab being primed.

There was a hole in the side of the dash for some sort of a switch - it is now gone.

Everyone keep their fingers crossed so maybe the interior will get painted today!
