Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
[QUOTE=Strodder;3478892]Got some drip rail shaving done today. Welded across the back end of the cab. I also shaved the seams in the door jams. Plus the lower windshield seam. It probably won't show, but I shaved it just in case. I'm just a shaving fool.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Got work on the bed today. This is how I got the bed. The guy cut the top of the rail to make it flip up. He then drilled a hole in the top of the fender to fill it with gas. Cool idea, but I didn't like it, besides It wouldn't work with the gas tank that I'm putting in between the rear of the frame. Next I gave to remove the fender to fill the hole. I already started to take the fill tube out.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I like how the lines of the 73-87 style step bed looks on the 60-66. I would not have thought it would have blended in that well. IT didn't on my 70, but that looks really good on yours.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks. I though so too. I've always liked the look of those beds best of all. It just so happens that it looks really good on my year. I got lucky when I found it, and at a great price.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks guys. I can't slow down. If I do it will be stop mode. I want to get this project on the road ASAP, but can't get time on my own lift. That's why I doing the body work on the one side. After this side I am going to turn it around and do the drivers side. At least I'm getting something done on it.
After the Studebaker I have a Jeep to move the engine back to the stock position and make it steer with a new Signaw steering box, and fill the fire wall where the engine was, then I just picked up an other customer to do a frame off restoration on a 62 Impala SS. He's the original owner, and want's it all stock. The Lark is getting there. And here's the 62 SS After these 2 I can start yours Ruffrida

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Really nice work Dennis!! I have question, when you say to take your time welding in for example that filler piece for the signal light, about how long do you take to complete it and how long between doing a weld? I am novice at this and fixing to do some work on the body myself so I am trying to gauge at what speed I should be going. Thanks!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I heard about that too, but for this small job I don't think you really need it. I just have to go slow, and it won't warp.

I've even heard of people using bread dough for a heat sink. I've heard it works good and even smells good.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks for info Dennis. I take it you are not concerned with making the weld brittle with the water? So you are saying this is a continuous process? meaning you weld/cool off/weld... Sorry if I sound really amateurish!
