So much for the “rust free” title I bestowed on my little creampuff when I acquired it. When I was attempting to get the front clip removed, I discovered a tin panel on the passenger floor pan that had eluded my superficial inspection. While trying to find the last bolt for the inner fender I detected something that looked oddly, just slightly not original.After I pried a corner up and got a blade under the edge, I found my last bolt alright, but the leveraging of the slightly less than original tin patch, revealed a long strip of not floor pan.[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...AE5A124-62A1-4E8C-98E0-CC4250207E09.jpeg[/img]
I have a box of repair panels coming from LMC, and will tackle the rot when it arrives. In the meantime, I’ll continue peeling apart my front end and get that moved out of the way.
This so much fun. I had an idea that I was just going to peel apart the truck and get to work on welding in the boxing panels for the frame. Now I get to learn how to weld sheet metal.
