Re: New project! The "Red Herring"

Scored a 30k mile wrecking yard trans from a 2010 truck:


More progress on patching up the passenger's side.
Rocker and floor test fit:


Sectioning out the rot in hinge pillar:



New pieces made


Welded in


And all blended



Last thing I did tonight was start fitting my replacement kick panel. These repo ones are thicker than the originals, and I am happy for that. The curve at the bottom of the pillar leaves something to be desired, but there is enough metal to bend it into a better fit so I am reasonably satisfied
