not bad for a 20 year old engine that has never been fired.

Thanks ClemDaddy. I think we are doing a good job, but we find ourselves staring at stuff and "looking" for problems and issues. It's like we expect to make mistakes (see body work).

Re: Bear's 65

There is a chance that we spend too much time, put so much work in to this truck that we won't be satisfied when it's time to paint and end up getting a new door. As always, fingers crossed.

Re: Bear's 65

Did I mention this is a daily driver? The roof was "oil canning" (if that is the correct term). We tried welding studs, but it kept collapsing with very little pressure. I could not think of a reason NOT to do this. Worked like a charm.

Re: Bear's 65

Great idea for the roof. Do you mind going thru the process you used? How did you keep from using to much foam

The roof had identical dents/low spots on the left and right sides-like there was an overhead rack for tires, etc. The left side reacted well to our homemade stud gun, but the right refused to cooperate. Sounds like a typical issue with these trucks. The right side was far more "oil canny" for some reason. I could press a large portion down with two fingers resulting in a rather large, but shallow crater/saucer.

Whatever I did, I knew I would need to clean up the mess from the studs, so I drilled a hole just big enough for the straw, fed the straw in to different areas and let the foam work. Like I said before, I couldn't think of a reason not to do it. The void between the interior and exterior roof is shallow, but expansive. I wasn't worried about too much foam. The foam will follow the path of least resistance. I dont know if it matters, but I released the foam in incrimates. I would dump some in then wait a few minutes and repeat. I used 1/2 to 3/4 of the can over 30+ minutes. In my mind, i wanted it to set up a little each time. I do not know if it matters. Thats what i did.

I probably used more than necessary, but I wasn't afraid of it seeping out. Besides, it's hard to save a can of foam for another day. Maybe it will help insulate? Stop rust? Slowly poison me?
It helps having a plumber in the family. Those guys always have expanding foam in their vans. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.

I let it sit til the next day. Worked well.

I have some pics here and there. I lost some when a tree fell on my house in a rainstorm and my phone was in my jacket pocket when I was running the saw.
Not my tree!
Someday, I'll go back through and try to touch on everything. Right now, just trying to get it finished before my pop disowns me.
