Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Thanks dudes!
This was a little tougher than I had pictured and the OCD started kickin in. There was for sure some stress in them panels and it took a ton of dinkin around to get it all flush and straight. I've got the front section fully tacked back on but I think I'll keep fiddlin with it before I start welding it back. it still pulls in on both sides at the seam. I tried pulling it out and tacking it but it wanted to oil can like that. The way it is now I'd wind up with about 1/8" of filler over the joint and if that's the best I can do I'll be ok with it. The Boy did the layout on the back section and we got that cut off. We put the back section up for a look-see and it's not going to be any easier than the front. I'm anxious to see how I can blend the body line that curves down behind the wheel opening....
I'm loving it! It's going to look killer!
