Re: '66 Longbed 327 w/AC project

Thanks! It already paid for itself, and i have yet to do the roof skin. You have to have clean metal both sides, but i'm painting anyways. Quick to just go around with sandpaper wheel and remove the paint.

You don't get to fill in the holes in the panel where spot welds were removed with the circle cutter when using this, but they're always covered by gaskets or door weatherstripping or seamsealer in the roof. No chance of leakage, just you know, if someone ever took it a part, you could tell it wasn't factory. That's ok by me.

Got the bed unbolted today, going to see if i can get help tonight to move it off the frame so that i can work on the 3 small holes in the low back part of the cab. Once done welding those, i can work more on the inside. Didn't want to primer and paint the inside then fix those later and burn the interior paint side off!
