I used a wire wheel to get the majority out of the seam, then I used a sharpened chisel to get the rest out. I found that the seam sealer that was sunken down in between the panels would heat up and rise to the surface after a few welds so I would take the chisel and keep scraping it out when it surfaces as I welded the seam.










I'm so close I can taste it.... Here is my list of items left to body work:

1. Drivers cab corner
2. Gas filler hole
3. Rear window seam(very small section of rust)
4. Firewall holes and smoothing.


Wow you've been busy! Good progress and it must feel good to be nearing the end of the metal work.
