And here's a few shots of the patchwork on the driver's side

First set of patch panels: Lower body and cab corner



Second patch panel: The gap between the two cabs, where part of the Suburban back glass was.



It's definitely getting there. Slowly, but surely!


Sorry Son, But I am not as good as most of the guys on here when it comes to welding the body panels, I am used to heavy steel not paper thin sheet metal.
I have to give credit to the guys that do body work. Some of the builds on this site display a real talent for welding body panels. This truck has been a learning experience for me as far as body work goes. It is not easy welding panels without distortion when your used to burning in thick welds on heavy steel. Its a new kind of welding for me and I can see why I need a good mig with gas, Its Very easy to mess up a panel with a Mig burning .035 flux core wire. I will have to use my share of filler on this build. We need to start looking for a new Mig welder...
