64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"

Next thing to work on was the all original pass fender I got from CustomCab66.

Very minimal rust a few dents to knock out and trim holes to weld up. I also had to fix the stripped out lower nut. Here's how I did that. I tried to drill out the stripped of bolt but the nut came loose from its weld.

Yes my weld is ugly but it plenty strong.

Not to bad for a amateur welder I mean grinder.

Had a very small cancer hole at the bottom I drilled out with a bit and welded in a nail head. Worked great.

Had to work in the shed on Friday due to the rain.

In primer. Almost there. Just needs some high build and some blocking.

High build.

While I was waiting on that to dry started on this disaster again. It warped on me pretty bad even though I only welded a few spots far apart and gave it time to cool. This door is junk but for now going to make it work.
