That's almost inevitable when you blast something that old. But it's still a bummer. At least the perforations are spots that are flat. Should be fairly easy to patch.
That trailer setup looks like it worked pretty well.

The two shouldn’t be too bad, but that one with the hole for the heater is going to be a bugger with the bracing behind, the lip in front, and the tight spot welds. I’m not looking forward to that patch.

If it's still sound structurally, just use some JB Weld as filler for the pinholes. Its under the hood so it doesn't need to be PERFECT.

😂 I couldn’t do it, Kevin. It still won’t be perfect, but it will be solid. Since many of the welds are hidden or very hard to locate I haven’t fully metal finished them, but all the rust has been removed. I can rest easier now! Here are photos of the inspection, destruction, preparation, construction, installation (or test), and finalization of some of the panels.
Everything is epoxy primed way up inside, so that is a positive coming out of this rust adventure.
I still have to trim along the top edge, test fit, and then plug weld and stitch weld the passenger side top right patch I built in place. Almost there.

Likewise. Thanks Ferris.That 66 will be sweet. As I’ve said before, I (and I’m sure all of us) quite enjoy getting a look into everyones’ adventures. It really is motivating.
Almost got it…
It doesn’t look like much, but trimming, fitting, trimming, priming inside and out, cleaning the paint gun, marking plug weld locations, die grinding, clamping, tacking…
Man, hours pile up…
Update: Calling it good enough. A couple little touch up welds on other places of the cab, strip some old sealant, prep the bottom of the floor, blow and vacuum sand, and she's ready for primer. Whoop whoop!
