Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Hey there Pro,
You seemed kinda nervous doing this patching .... if you were then that is how I am every time I cut and weld something. Looks good from here though !! Keep us posted, want to see how you finish this up, and what you move on to next!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I am with you on doing the whole part, I am surprised you didnt throw a 2x6 or two across your fenders as a scaffolding and just do it... ??
But before I start critiquing other peoples work, I better get out of my bath robe and get some work done on my own !! LOL Still looks good man !

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Did'nt look all that bad. Good for another 40 years. I'll be doing mine some day. BTW its easy to mess up your glass with a welder or a grinder. It doesn't like hot stuff.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Protrash... Thanks a bunch for getting those pictures up. I'll be doing the exact same repair--and I'll also do photos as I have the sincere pleasure of replacing the whole thing.. Buuuuuttttt--mine will come from the '65 Truck cab that I dissected. So, it should be fun taking the area apart twice.. One thing I was considering aside from welding the end seams--was welding the entire top rain gutter edge. I know that is how water had gotten inside of mine as that part is separating allowing water to get in. Right now--this is only a consideration--don't know if I'll do it yet..

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Since your all set up why not just weld the end gaps shut.

I'm considering this, Dave. I was almost out of gas and needed to get the pieces done. Next weekend I'll get more gas and be able to make some filler pieces so the gap is easy to bridge. I could do it with fiberglass easily!! I've had some stuck on my garage floor for 5 years now!!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Could weld it easier. Then do your hood and your bed.Then get more gas.
