Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Tailgate looks good Nik. You're right the only way to learn is to do it yourself. And if it's not right do it again. We have to redo stuff plenty out in the shop.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
At a minimum, rebuild the carb. It is probably gummed up inside, valves sticking some, and those leakey gaskets..... I am not an expert with them, but those old 1bbl carbs are pretty easy to rebuild. Check around were the throttle rod(?) runs into the caarb and make sure the hole is not to wallowed out as then you may need another carb.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Glad to see you're taking the time to do it right, even if it means backtracking on previous progress. That's what the really good builders do. I think you'll feel a lot better about the end product.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Just took the welds down. I'm glad that I took the time to make the panel even and flush. The seem is super smooth and I can't even feel the seam when I run my finger across it.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Just finished the fan base. Lots of filing and sanding resulted in the the areas replaced with fibreglass looking like they were meant to be. Then threw some paint on. I'll put it all back together tomorrow and put in the new switch.
Oh yeah I also ordered new rear cab supports and they should be here tomorrow or Sunday.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Then I started to work on the rocker panel. I got this one for free from someone that messed it up. For some reason they cut out the front section of it
