Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build
Got a few things done last night. I installed the new wheelwell braces to keep the front of the wheel wells in place. I borrowed the body shops stud gun and puller again and pulled out the dents around the taillights. I was able to hammer out a few dents on the lower areas also, so at least there will be less filler on it. I welded 2 of the 3 holes in the door skin from the old mirrors. I'll fill the other one too if I can make a little round patch to fit.
I had the bodyman come buy the house and take a look. He said I'm doing really good so far. Gave me a couple things to try to get the door gaps better. Part of the problem will be that there are still a lot of parts (weight) that have to go back in the doors, plus the seals and the latches, which will all effect how the door eventually fits.
