Re: 1966 F100 Short Bed Styleside Metal/Body/Paint Work
Thanks guys!!
The passenger side pocket was a bit more work since the seam was crooked at the top. I rounded off an air chisel tip and used that to move the edge of the long panel over to where it should've been.
After moving it over, still not perfect but much better than before.
Patch made, determining the right spot to make the bend so the gap is even.
Bent, fitted, and welded weld in.
The front bed pockets were opened up to get back to flat metal, then were straightened, spot blasted to touch up missed areas of rust, primed, and welded shut.
