Re: Rust Therapy - 62 C-10

Spent the afternoon working on more body work.

I started with 2 small rust patches in the bottom corner of both doors. You can see why all trucks rust right here. Then I turned to shortening the first of the bed sides 8" in the front and 4" in the rear. I spent a lot more time measuring and planning how I was going to do it than actually cutting, but I'm pleased with the progress today. This method should help prevent the risk of warping when I weld it back together. Bonus: I was going to fill in the stake holes on the bed anyway but now the front and rear holes have already been cut out, so that's 4 fewer patches.
