Re: 57gmcuk
In April my second job finished so have been making some progress. I started on the cab sheetmetal work. I thought the cab was pretty good just the usual rear cab corners and a lhd lower door hinge. I ordered these from brothers and after my order getting lost in the interweb I got hold of there overseas bloke Tim who was ever so helpful and parts arrived safely. I started to cut out the lower door hinge to find the outercowl was actually very rusty so i cut that out to find the kickpanel was heavily rusted with several holes.
So I thought I had best open up the other side and see what it was like. Thankfully it was in much better order just a light surface rust. But the bottom of the post and bottom wanted replacing. As brothers does not do the kickpanel I orderd these from classicparts of america, as I did not fancy trying to replicate the curves when I could buy a stamped panel.
Whilst waiting for the kickpanel, outer cowl panel etc I decided to por15 the surface rust areas.
