It's coming together. I know, a frame-off resto is always best but I still need to get the floors and rockers together in order to even consider lifting it. | The floor or toeboard is gone and so is a lot of the metal from the large front mount. Hmmm. | I cut out the old rusted metal at the bottom and left a small overlap. This was plug welded and sealed. It has got to be better than it was, right? | |
I have some work to do here. | The rusted frame horn was no match for the newer leaf spring. | Lots of practice at welding and forming sheet metal here. With a coat of primer, the form should show up better. | Driver's side fender I tried my hand at butt welding in patch panels, plug welding and stitch welding. What fun! |
Driver's side door. I tried to butt weld this. | A large section of the quarter panel was removed as it had a continuous line of rust where the trim had been. This makes the wheelhouse repairs easier as well! | A new floor!!! This was plug and stitch welded to the old floor-I left about a 1" overlap. Yes, I know it doesn't have the factory beads and may make some noise when it flexes, and no, it isn't as "deep" as a factory floor. Dear Santa-I could use a beater bag and a dead blow hammer...or a bead roller! | Passenger side wheelhouse nearly done! |
