Re: pdx-sanity66
Thanks Moto, I was pretty lucky to find such an unmolested truck and the rust repair is minimal compared to a lot of builds I've seen. I was just looking at your finished truck. Congrats on a great looking ride.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Waiting for my patch panels so I cleaned up the garage a little and worked on a couple of small projects. I cut out a little more of the rusted area to get a look underneath the lower door pillar. Here's a couple of more pics of what I'm dealing with.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I got a visit from the brown truck today and got my patch panels for the passenger side of the cab that I ordered from Classic Parts. I hope to get some time this weekend to get started cutting and fitting the panels.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Another little side project I've been working on. Cutting down a bench seat into a bucket seat. I'm trying to get the look of bucket seats that could have been an option if GM had decided to offer a bucket seat option, somewhat like the passenger seat in the subs but a little wider. I think I've got it. Keep in mind that this is just a first try with a seat that has some broken springs on the driver side and I just tacked it together. The third pic is set in the cab to show the fit. What do you think?
What I really need now is another standard full bench seat frame and a seat frame bottom or the drivers side of a bottom that have good springs so I can build a passenger seat and repair the springs on this seat. If anyone locally has these they can part with cheap, please let me know. |
