Re: Build: I've never done bodywork...but I can change if I have to! (bagged '67 SWB

Well I had some pretty good progress today! I am hoping to have good progress for the next few weeks as I am all alone here and can work without any interuptions, normally my dad will find a lot of other work for me to do, but as he is on holidays, I can go full bore on my own stuff!



Skill testing question: Try spot the truck! I tell ya... leave a project for a few years and people start using it as storage area.

now this is the second time this has happend!? I did the same thing on the Drivers side! This time I was watching for it, but still seemed to leave this little triangle, for some reason I can't seem to get the panel to fit in properly when I go to mark it, eventhough I leave extra material, I still come up short?

well, what else can I do? getting good practise with welding these little triangle pieces, I did a much better job with this floor pan, it almost makes me want to go back and re-do the drivers side..
