Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
The airlines look sick! Nice to see you're doing as much of the work yourself with simple tools. Killer truck!

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Since the whole point of this truck is do build it in a small garage. I'm gonna show you guys how I strip large parts from rust. I'm in the big inning stages of building a new bed and needed the cross sills. You can buy new ones fairly I expensively but this was only about 20 Bux. To strip the sills I use one of my favorite techniques. It's cheap but requires some time. I built a troph out of 1x8 and some scrap oak pieces I had laying around. Then line it with a plastic drop cloth folded over a few times. Put the parts in and fill with vinegar. I just put them in the bath. Each day I like to scrub them with a wire brush and repeat in the bath. After a few days they will look brand new. I made the troph big enough to bath two sills at a time. After these first two are done I'll put in the rear most sill.heres a few pics

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Started cleaning up the fire wall. Tig is tricky on sheet metal but I'm improving so whatever. I'm gonna go pick up a mig tomorrow. Thinking the Hobart 140 will work better.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Absolutely set the welder up with .023 wire. I like the vinegar troth too.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Guys, What the hell am i going to do as far as doors? I would rather just buy new ones but have heard horror stories as far as fitment goes. Anyone want to give me some insight? I do not want to spend the time to repair my rusted doors just to have a set of repaired doors. ill post pictures of them so you guys can see whats going on but they are pretty typical. I have searched for a few years trying to find the best doors i can. These dont have any spots that are rusted through but you can see the early signs on the exterior of the lower skins where they are starting to bubble a bit. I have a feeling a lower skin would be fine for the exterior but im afraid of what the lower bucket flange looks like under the skin.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
What a crazy day. Got home from work early only to be paid with my garage door slipping a spring and getting jammed in the track. Headlight burned out on the way to work this morning. Went to oreillys to grab a new bulb reached under the hood and as I touched it it started working. Drove back towards home, stopped by tractor supply and grabbed a Hobart handler 140. I worked on the firewall a bit. Does anyone have a good way to grind down welds in an inside corner? Don't laugh at my welds! I just got this damn thing and am still dialing it in. In the coming weeks I'm gonna order some Esab easygoing wire and an .023 roller for the welder.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Love the rendering, I've been bouncing back and forth between the same color combo and Red and White as you can see from my avatar!

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Did a little work on the firewall over the weekend. I'm still waiting on doors and fenders to ship from nsanehotrodz. I'll be ordering hills rod and custom inner fenders as soon as they get them in stock. Need to call Porterbuilt and get hood hinges ordered. Hopefully there isn't a long lead time on them too. Anyways here's a few pics.
