Not as good as I would like. Lots of work to get it to your caliber.

BTW Happy Thanksgiving. Are you going to get some garage time over the holiday?

Lol, I was thinking the same thing Jim.
This is the first time I've seen your build. Your definitely not afraid to dig in and do it right. I can appreciate how much work it takes to do the work right no matter how many times you might have to refine your repairs. It takes a little longer but it sure feels great at the end of the day to know you have some solid repairs. Awesome work.

Definitely jealous of your shop bud, lol. Looks like you are grabbing the bull by the horns and jumping right in. How much of a pain was it to pull the floor like that? It's pretty much all spot welds right? I'll be rebuilding my floor soon and that looks like a tempting route. Keep up the good work.

The floor wasn't bad. The only spot welds were along the back panel with the way I did it. First I braced the cab, then off of the bracing I made a fixture to locate all the critical parts of the floor and panels. Then I just cut down the A and B pillars along the rocker panel. Then across the toe board.

69CST-V · 11-24-2012, 07:35 PM

Started on the cab corners today. Here is the passenger side. Hung the door to check the gaps.

69CST-V · 11-24-2012, 07:42 PM

Started the drivers side cab corner. Ran into all kinds of headaches. So I'm going to leave it for tomorrow.

I have to say for as many of these replacement parts I see being used on this board and elsewhere. You would think they would have gotten there fitment a little better then it is by now. Rant Over....

69CST-V, damn you are moving on this thing. Looks great. How about a picture of your bead roller. Keep up the great work.

The bead roller is just a harbor freight unit. I added some stiffeners to it to help with heavier gauge material.
