Welcome to the board.
Good luck on the build, I'm glad to see you are doing the metal repairs right, when you get done you will have a truck you can be proud of.

Re: my 70 swb build

burned in inner rocker, lower A-pillar, kick panel, rear pillar and cab corner and realized I hate patch panels!!!! these replacement panels barely resemble the original metal and require a ton of work to fit correctly! all that's left is fitting outer rocker and lining up with door and fender.

cut out rusted out drivers side floor section and burned in new patch panel, also began fitting rocker panel and had to fight with fit up front so ran out of time to get it burned in. removed bump stop's in preparation for c-notch

Re: my 70 swb build

the weird looking paint on floor is because I bought clear por-15 and painted over it before it was dry so top coat cracked will have to scuff down and respray
