New project! The "Red Herring" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

More progress today.

The inside of the driver's roof pillar had been previously cut for reasons that are inexplicable to me - they didn't fix the dent on the other side? I'm nearly there

Melted out all the body lead in preparation for repairing the cowl - I was going to leave the pillar-roof seams, but it was cracked on both sides.

Pleased to find no rust under the lead.

Making some real ... progress??

Door braces installed:

My doors fit nicely (other than needing the strikers replaced) at this point so I didn't want to mess with any of the alignment

No turning back now

Passenger's side, getting ready to replace the rocker panel and support

Hopefully will get a few hours during the week to keep plugging away
