Re: 1966 F100 Short Bed Styleside Metal/Body/Paint Work

The rear of the door jambs had a couple layers that stuck out for a tab to hold the inner and outer panels together. This looked pretty terrible, and even with the planned carpet and inner panels there would be no way to make this area look neatly finished.






Test fitting the area with a carpet scrap and panel board... it still looks unfinished.




Flange cut flush with the jamb edge. This left a recess that needed filling in.










Filler piece formed and tacked in place.




Layers welded together, filler panel fully welded in, and welds smoothed.








Test fitting again, much cleaner looking than before.
