Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
Mounted the door to check the fitment on the inner door bottom alignment. The patch panel required trimming along the door skin mounting flange to match the existing flange so I wanted to check to see if any other adjustments are required before I install the outer door skin. Just received new tool for door skin installation and can't wait to use it.

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
Very nice project. Very similar to the 69 project I have milking for the last 2 years almost. Just curious where you picked up the gas tank? I would like to find one like that, I just don't want to kill the project for price. thanks, subscribed.

I picked up the tank from Boyd Welding. He is a vendor here on the site. Link provided. They did a very nice job on it and they hold group buys a couple times a year for board members. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=362307 Thanks, Justin

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
I've heard the adhesive is like a seam sealer,& better,so you going use the air tool on your door skins,it looks like it would make it easy if you use the adhesive.Hope to see pictures soon.I don't know what the drying time is on it,in which could be the draw back,thanks for the pictures,looking good.

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
Hey RCbowtie69, I have made more progress on the rust repairs.
After cutting out the rusted area and marking the patch panel and cutting the new section from the patch panel, I lined them up the best I could to spot weld to the door. As you can see from the pictures that the new panel doesn't match up perfectly and will require some manipulation once spot welded on the flush areas.

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
Here are some pictures of the replacement panel welded in (be easy on the welds, I just started). I have completed the door skin installation on both doors and all went fairly easy. Also, the door skin tool I referenced earlier did NOT perform as advertised! I checked and used recommended air inlet pressure, watch the supplied video and followed the directions as best I could and it didn't even try to fold over the door skin "lip". Good news is, I researched the door skin adhesive RCbowtie69 mentioned in previous post and it worked great. Long enough cure time to allow skin installation via hammer/dolly and get mounted onto cab and lined up to "set" with proper alignment to cab. I will take a few more pics of the how the door bottom panel matched up to the original door on the inside. I'm no body man, but I think it was not too bad of a job to dolly the panels to make it appear that there was no difference.
Started working on front fender trouble spots at this time. Still want to get more experience before attacking the cab corners, cab supports and rocker panels.

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
Here are a few pics of the engine status. Received the valve covers, Intake, timing chain cover and accessory bracket from powder coating. Started assembling the engine valve train. Should have it together tomorrow.
Thanks, Justin

Re: 1st Project: 71 C10 SWB
I'll answer for him since I use them too. They are rare earth magnets. About the strongest you can get. The ones he used here look like they are out of a hard drive too? They work great for getting your metal flush. Only problem I have with them beside pinching me if I get them too close together, when you try to tig weld around them it kinda messes up the arc.
