Re: My '63 C10 "I'd rather be driving" Project
The original plan was to do no paint damage, but I now have rust to fix. My buddy (for 40 years) Mike came out to give me a hand today. He's a painter that works in a dealership, but he does really nice resto work on the side. Mike is restoring his 71 Cutlass that he's owned since high school. He recently finished a very nice rotisserie resto on an original 409 4 speed 65 Impala SS.
We cut out the rusty areas, then I butt-welded patches in. While I welded, Mike laid etch-primer, then a coat of paint on the inside of the BBW panel. Once I finished welding, we etch-primed the inside of the cab, then sprayed on some stoneguard to seal and hopefully add some sound-deadening to the cab.
We ground and wire-wheeled all the areas to be glued, then packed it in for the night. Tomorrow should be a quick job to finally glue & weld the panel in.
