Rust repair is beginning again. I have been practicing my MIG welding and am feeling more comfortable moving forward now.
I realized that I didnt have enough measurement prior to taking doors off and making first couple of cuts so I put the doors back just to make sure nothing has moved yet with the few cuts I made. Good news is that the gaps all look good still so I take a number of measurements and then put my braces back in place. Time to start cutting again! I was wondering what type/gauge steel you guys are using for fabbing up small pieces of the frame in places where I wouldnt want to buy the whole stamped out piece from restoration design? I will most likely have to buy the inner wheelhouse, inner rocker panel kit, and the rear floor pan but there are spots where I just need to fabricate small pieces to connect everything together. I will update more pics as a starting point this week. |
