Can't go wrong for $60 and a cruise to get it.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Well, with parts sitting on the floor I just couldn't help myself but to slap them on for a bit. I have a lot of aligning to do!
The gaps are no good! I'll be trying to work on those a little today. Starting to look like a truck again!!! |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
And here's some after a little rework. I'm not completely done, but I think it looks 100% better.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Very nice work on the gaps. I know how much of a pain it is to get them close.

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Well, it wasn't a ton of progress but I did manage to fix the drivers door handle area.
Before... Notice the gap between the handle and door? |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Well, I'm going to have to smooth out the welds a bit better before I skim it. Yesterday's grind job was just a rough one.

![]() Thanks! I probably went overkill by cutting it out of the door, but I didn't have any tools that I could have used to repair it with it in place. Now hopefully I can get it smooth enough that you won't be able to see that I did that ![]() |

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"
Bummer. Hard to tell from the pic, but what looks like crap about it? Anything Bondo can't fix?
I'm a bit nervous about the possibility of doing mine some day (might not happen, anyway). It's one thing to work on the bottom part of the body on the rockers, lower parts of fenders, etc. It's another thing to do that part that is high enough to be seen more easily and I'll have to look at every time I open the door.
