Re: Bringing the '65 back to life

Very glad here, too. We're soooo ready for winter to be over.


Today was another good day at the shop. While the inside front lower corner of this door wasn't rusted through, it was pretty beat. A piece of a York air conditioner will make a good patch panel. Cutting out the old sheetmetal exposes the mud collected between the inner structure and the sheetmetal. This corner wasn't far from rusting through. After cleaning up everything I could reach and shooting a little zinc primer, I welded it up. Using a flux-core MIG on super-thin parent metal isn't much fun, but it is doable with a little patience.


Dad and I slapped on a pair of rebuilt hinges and installed and aligned the door to the cab.


It's actually starting to look like a truck again.
