Lots mere progress on the M37

Post by powerwagontim »

Well, the rust repair segment is drawing to a close. Taking it to a body shop Saturday for the prep and paint. Trading carpentry with the body man for his services. Plus he is going to let me work alongside him. I plan on soaking up as much of it as I can, as the rest of the body and paint work will be on me!

Picture is of the pristene gutter I got locally. Still had OD paint on the entire outside. You can see the lace that opened up when I put it through the sandblast cabinet!

I'm just guessing, but you made the jig, your weldor buddy did the rest of the sheet metal work? Looking real good Tim, my slave outlet looked similar as did my door arm keepers. Looking much better all the way around!

How did you form the patch for the lower rear corner of the cab? I've got to do that and so far have been timid about attempting to form a curve that is smooth enough to match.
