Re: PO has me PO'd
Hard to say, I really want to. Seems like if I get off my arse at nights after work it may be completed haha.
After the floorboards are done, mostly just reassembly. Then its the fact that everything has to work, never really had this truck on the road. J. Hey, why don't you invite -GREG 72, he lives up your way, doesn't he?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks guys, I only get a few hours a week to work on it, so it will take awhile. Getting ready to start the 'B' post.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Are you using the screws to hold in place til welding is complete and then remove and fill weld, or is there some other Evil purpose?
 I went that route putting rockers in the 71 the first time I did it and it helped a lot. I just welded screw and all in and then finish ground it.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yes, I plan to remove them as I weld in the panels, just helps with alignment and ease of removal as I modify and reinstall the pc. They will just turn into a bunch of spot welds, if I ever get to that point....

Re: PO has me PO'd
I hadn't realized the extent of your "repairs needed"
Wow, nice resurrection! Looking forward to seeing the finished product this spring.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Kurt for the compliments. Yeah it's been a long enjoyable road. The only areas that I didn't touch were under the seats and above the seam line on the cowl. Thank goodness that was rust free, I have seen some trucks with rust in that area and it looks like a PITA to fix.
You've gotta room to talk, all the work that you have done to the Big Blue One. I remember when you first bought it. I think you said it was good to go the way it was. haha You -Greg and Rab will be looking at me on the bottom side of the black trails, as I don't plan on creasing any of these great looking Goodmark panels....... well, for awhile anyway.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jaros. Nice work. I was wondering why the patch panel you made for the kneewall to the B pillar was not solid.(It has that cut out) If you look at the pic the VT posted you see the piece hanging down without the rocker. I am currently doing the same thing that you are. Mine was for the most part intact.

Re: PO has me PO'd
My man Jaros, your kickin' butt, the weather better warm up so this ole man can get started on his Jimmy. Your work looks great glad, to see your taking your time and doing it right the first time.
I need for the temperatures to warm up a tad (don't want to blowup my shop) so I can paint some interior sheetmetal in preparation of adding firewall insulation and dynamat. Hang in there, nice work for an ole Jarhead
