Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Hey Dan, glad to hear you are still around and kicking, even if you are kicking slowly.
I have been distracted with a bunch of stuff going on myself, but am hoping to get back to it in the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone is doing well. Hope to see some pics and progress soon. -Darien

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Still here...
So this is where is started with the passenger side rot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rusty **** box. With that all cut back out of the way I began to fit up the outer floor extension. I reall couldn't ask for a better fit. ![]() ![]() This time I cut around the hump because it doesn't match up too well with the OE floor. Also had to open up the seatbelt attaching home quite a bit. Still a great fit compared to the other side of the truck. ![]() With that all lined up I prepped the outer floor by removing the black EDP off all mating surfaces and edges to be welded. I applied UPol copperweld to all overlapping surfaces once sanded. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next up I sand blasted and sand blasted and blasted some more. That crap was in my ears and nose and everywhere. Once blasted clean, I coated the cab supports with Eastwood rust encapsulated and again used Upol copperweld on all overlapping surfaces. ![]() ![]() ![]() Burning the floor edge in. I plug welded it to the cab supports but I didn't get a pic before sanding those smooth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Making it smooth. Grind, sand, sand. Gotta love those Roloc disks! ![]() Almost done. ![]() There she is. Good as it's going to get for a floor. ![]() ![]() ![]() A little primer to keep from flash rusting. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next up the rear pillar or "b" pillar. This part is awful. I had to slice and dice and flatten and reform and talk dirty to get this piece into submission. Grrr. ![]() ![]() Back side of the b pillar. ![]() Needs to be finish welded across the seam but done for the moment. ![]() Moving on to the kick panel. Here's what's left of the "a" pillar, blasted clean. ![]() ![]() Once again, sanding all mating surfaces to plug weld and coated with copperweld primer. The kick panel is a pretty good fitting patch. No big complaints there. Well one complaint. The kick panel fits great by itself, the "a" pillar seems to fit great by itself but the kick panel and "a" pillar do not fit together very well with one another. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am going to have to do some serious cowl repair and pull the firewall back in. It had a gap at this seam from the factory. Or at least since I got it. You could see how the spotwelds pulled the metal across the gap. There were big gaps between each spot weld. ![]() Here she is welded in. I did not weld it to the firewall yet, I have to whip up a patch to fill in above this piece and part of the cowl. ![]() ![]() Now I am fighting the "a" pillar. It is giving me hell so far. I cut it down but it sticks too far out, like it's too tall. I sliced it vertically so I can get the hinge mount surface to sit flush. I am almost satisfied with it and hope to have it burned in soon. Here an early test fit pic. It appears to fit well in the picture... ![]() I will say that the rocker panel is a great fit in every test fit so far. ![]() I guess I didn't upload a whole side view with the rocker clamped on. I will get one uploaded later.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
I have other updates but let's stick with getting the cab squared away first before getting back to the drivetrain.

Thanks man! Thank You MJ! No progress since last time, My Porterbuilt track bar will be here in a couple days and all suspension parts go out to get powdercoated. I am sick of cleaning prepping and painting parts and I don't have time or patience to mess with painting right now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
