Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build

I got a new tool the other day, it works great. An air nibbler. It was about $47 and I think it will pay for itself quickly. The thin cutting wheels I've been using work fine, but are about $2 each and burn up very quick. I went through 2 and a half just cutting the tailgate section the other day. The nibbler works faster and doesn't blow sparks and grit into my face.


Work continues on the pass side door. I started with doing the patch for the skin. Nice fit there.


Welded it in and cleaned up the welds.


Had a small hole on the inner panel lower front corner, so I patched it up a bit.


Got the fat mat layed in.


Started putting the inner patch panel in. This is as far as I got today. I should be able to finish it up this week.



How am I doing James?
