Re: 'Hay Burner' 69 LWB Frame Off Restore
That wasn't all that got filled up...
This rot around the passenger foot well has been known problem since 2002. I fabricated a patch piece for the vent air box welded that back together. I had previously cut out what I thought was the bad area of the foot well... but welding and hidden rust got things got out of hand quickly. After welding the 2 larger patch pieces I ended up adding 3 more smaller pieces of sheet metal to repair hidden rusted areas that just opened up a can of worms. The A-pillar area was nothing but rust once exposed further up the side. Media blasted what I exposed and painted it up with Zero-Rust before I welded it all back up. After hours of work it is al sealed up and strong. May I'll add a little filler here and there later to conceal some waves... when that time comes.
Lets just say I am not a good welder but I stayed in a Holiday Inn.....
