i'm too embarrassed to take and show pics of my welds. i don't think i have the right sticks. they are 1/16 6014 or something like that. i was told to try and use 6011. what are you using greg?

stick welding eh?...that is rough...I would pony up and get a mig for sheetmetal...looks good for sure, where are you getting your floorpans from?

the shape is actually pretty good, but they are thin. the cab mounts are crap. i'm going to call tom in the a.m. about the u.s. made ones.

got me a core support today. it's from a 65, but it's rust free. one hole in the radiator support from what looks like it might be from an ac setup.

Chris

you are progressing well.

the support looks decent , i think it will clean up nice.

i ditched the wagon wheels my uni came with too. had to keep one for the spare as its the only other 8" i have.

You're going to have to shoot it to make it look original.

pretty sure they are or the old milwaukee would have bogged down some.

got the front clip apart too. talk about fubar. that was an exercise in self restraint right there. nothing is easy to reach and rust is not on your side on a project like this

Oh well having said that!, I won`t tell you how easy mine came apart!, wouldn`t want to upset you
