Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!

To start off I marked out my cut line to work from center of the buldge to the front bolt hole of the door handle. Then I cut the line, worked the body to where I wanted it and re-cut the overlap + 1/16". Then I started tacking it slowly and working the seam with the hammer and doly to keep things where I wanted it. Once it is all welded up I ground down the final tacks ( I like to use a .035" thick cut off wheel on my 4 1/2" grinder for grinding welds). Then I took a felt marker and covered the hole seam and broke out the body file to find high and low spots. Worked those abit and it is ready for some high build primer and blocking. The hole thing took about 2hr start to finish so I think it was faster then re-skinning half the door with a burb panel.
