Re: Project: Montezuma
And more....
I actually decided to split the cup I'm swapping over for better prep. I didnt realize when I bought the last fender, but the cup actually did have some damage and filler.... Shop is a mess, need a cleanup day tomorrow.

Re: Project: Montezuma
Yeah I will say its definitely no magic wand. Wray is a pro, he could make anything look easy. He says those disks are really only for 1/16 or less dents. Otherwise he uses a torch to do the quick work. Im pretty new at it so I stay away from the torch....
What change I do see is usually very slow. A lot of repetition.

Re: Project: Montezuma
So the idea here is to build off the other fender (which has a inner cup brace still in tact to reference) then when I get it all buttoned up... Ill cut it off and put it on the fender im using.

Re: Project: Montezuma
Ah, just realized it was a year ago I started tearing into this thing....
Anyway, cut out a small rust spot out on the side and fixed that. Got the cup tacked in place, seems to have gone smoothly. Tomorrow (hopefully) ill get out there and finish the cup and maybe get a game plan for the inner rocker.

Re: Project: Montezuma
More finesse work continued. Haven't had time for much of anything...
My buddy and I spent the past weekend getting a 1950 Plymouth business coupe he bought. Has the original flat head, running and driving. Was a partial restore, needs a few small things. Hoping to get to the PS inner rocker maybe tomorrow afternoon...

Re: Project: Montezuma
Also, I missed a cool tip. When trying to cut off the cup to transfer over to the new one, instead of trying to measure and cut to the same line.... just use a tape template, no measuring.

Re: Project: Montezuma
Thanks. Yesterday I was out there working and recalled reading a post over a year ago about how many times I would have to take everything ( rockers, door, fender) on and off to get it right.... I thought to myself wow what a PITA that sounds like haha.....
They were right....

Re: Project: Montezuma
Inner and outer(inside) rockers sealed and next is to put the PS rocker on for the last time!!
After I sealed it I threw some rust encapsulator on her for extra measure.

Re: Project: Montezuma
I sprayed weld through primer on the places where the outer rocker will weld to the inner rocker. I also burned in the cab corner.
I have been putting in a lot of effort to make sure rust wont be as likely as before. From what I've read modern day paint (SPI in particular) is far superior to the lacquer based paints of the day. So I hope between better paint and lessening 'problem spots' where mud/water collect will reduce the rust issues later on. I will never sell this truck so I am trying to do the best I can...

Re: Project: Montezuma
Nice job on getting this wrapped up. These trucks lived hard lives and were likely not taken care of like they are today. We worry about rust and use every preventive measure possible, but most trucks after finished live a much easier life. I say you will be happy for quite some time to come.
