Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Progress is going to be slow for a bit. Our little one was born on the 13th and she is perfect. This is Daphne.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
I made it into the shop for the first time since Daphne was born. I have filled in the radius in the rear corner of the passenger rocker/cab corner. I then started to fill the leading edge of the rocker as it was much to rounded for my liking. Only a small piece of wire was needed to match the door to the rocker near the front.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
This afternoon I was planning to finish up welding the edge of the passenger rocker but that turned out to be a bust. I got all set up, turned on the welder and went to make a tack.....out of gas.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Congratulations on the newborn! Truck is looking awesome. I am jealous of the body/welding work. That's probably my weakest area unfortunately. I'll stay tuned and see if I pick up a few tips from you.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Progress continues on the passenger side. I got the rest of the rocker edge welded up and smoothed off. I also got a good coat of marglass laid down on the outside of the rocker. Should be done with welding on the cab now for a while so hopefully I'll be laying down some regular bondo soon.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
First of all, congratulations on the arrival of little Daphne, she is so precious!
You really had a lot to deal with on this truck, and I thought the rust issues on my truck were bad... You are doing a spectacular job! I still have a rust area up under the dash where the cowl inlet rusted through. That will be a challenge to fabricate the replacement patches and get them welded in. Once that is done, I can epoxy prime the cab interior and apply the Lizard Skin. Have you given any thought to applying any sound deadening/thermal barrier? My goal is to do such a good job rust proofing my truck that it can be a daily driver without the worry of it rusting out again. Again congrats on the beautiful baby girl and the work you have done on your truck! |

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I'm not decided on that either. I was leaning more towards just doing the underside but not too sure. Does anyone think it would be beneficial to do both sides?
