I went over to see my 1940 Chevy truck cab at the blasters.

There are hundreds of tiny holes in the sheet metal. almost all in the belt line around the back of the cab. Some down low in the front corners too. I was expecting that, but not way up on the cab.

I didn't take my camera so I don't have any photos yet.

Is this area prone to rust? What is the recommended method for fixing? It doesn't seem that thin but it must be. Can you just weld up each hole or will it just blast right through. Do you have to cut out the belt line? That can't be easy to fabricate.

Man I am bummin'
