Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I changed my tactic a bit. I think I was over-thinking things a bit, and trying to do things to 1/1000" of perfection that the machinist side of my head wants, and over-looking the 3/16" perfection that Chevy had back in 1961. And that might be pretty generous on the 3/16".
I ended up cutting out the rear cab support, trimmed the rest of the floor to fit the patch panel, and then spent probably three hours making the rear cab support fit. And the inner-rocker/floor-section needed some love at the firewall. No aftermarket panels fit correctly, you just have to accept that going in.
Should be ready for some blasting at the rear cab support tomorrow, some epoxy primer, and then weld it all together.
