Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Well, I started working on my 5" stretch cab '66 pickup roof skin project.
This is my second attempt on the skin.
Before I read your thread my first attempt started well but crashed and burn.
After studying your spot weld,planish,grind repeat I have a great start. Something doesn't feel like its going with the flow you have supplied the info on what to do next to get things back on track. Priceless!
I have followed every step like you did on the '55 roof section.
It is turning out WAY better this time than last.
Planishing. I made some practice pieces like you did to show the full penetration spot welds. Learned how the metal is effected and studied how it moves.
The way you show gives a guy a lot more control working the metal.
Learned tons watchin. Thanks.
You Sir have some, if not all, Serious Skillz
Thank you again.
