Re: 72 C10 for my 25th wedding anniversary

Moving on to rust repair on the passenger side, I found I needed more repair than I had hoped. I ended up replacing a portion of the inner rocker, kick panel, a section of door pillar & the outer rocker. I chose to drill out the spot welds with the hope that some portions of the underlying panels could be saved helping to align the new repair panels.
After mocking up the panels I did prep and apply weld thru primer in areas that would get plug welds and over lapped panels, such as the kick panel,inner rocker,door pillar area. I had the door on and off many times checking the fit and gaps before final weld. Hopefully I can remember to take better and more progressive pics on the other side.
