Re: What did you do to your truck today?
(repost from my build thread..)
...been awhile since I've worked on the 'burban.. So--my motivation level is up and spread amongst my '61 Biscayne, '48 Ford and the old 'Burb.. I spent a bunch of hours today plug welding various holes drilled over the past 48 years on the interior floor and panels.. I then decided that there was no way to make the "cut-outs" on the rear roof gutter area look good. So--I set out to repair them. They ended up looking really good--I'm very happy. I considered this to be a pretty difficult repair due to the need to MIG so close to the body-roof seam without getting any stray boogers stuck in the seam, while satisfactorily making the repair. Here's the before and after. (Passenger and Driver's side were hacked the same..) And after.. Now--I'll have to put new drain slots/holes in.. What are they supposed to look like and if anyone has a picture to display their approximate location-please post it here. This is the front A-Pillar drain.. And-the drain hole/slot above the first side window..
