Re: '62 BBW SWB Highschool ride returns

The weather has sucked latley, I need to put a roof on my shed, but it keeps raining. At least it forced me to work on the truck again. Figured it was time to get the cab done, so I can start putting all these pretty parts on something.

I started with the back since it was looking right at me.


Picked up something to keep me busy for a while, cab corners, and floor patches. Shoulda got some rocker panels too..


The drivers cab corner isn't too bad.


Now it is


That looks better.


All shiny again.


Passengers side looked about the same, but I forgot to get a before pic.


All patched up.


And finally coated with Epoxy.


Next I think I'll do the rockers. Any tips on doing them? I am half tempted to leave the cab sitting like it is, on the firewall. It would make getting to the spot welds really easy. I'm just afraid of the thing distorting when I cut the rocker off.
