Grandpas Truck Restoration UPDATE 1

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Had a significant amount of time on my hands today so I helped my brother work on grandpas truck. Basicly all we got done was cutting bad spots out, making pannels and welding a few in.
Before we took any pictures I had allready welded in the rear cab frame patch.
But that rocker pannel was shot at the back. But I didnt want to spend money on a full pannel just for that back corner so I made it. Took me almost 2 hours to just make the thing but DANG does it fit good!
Pat myself on the back for that one. lol

Looking good. Out of curiosity what gauge metal are you using to patch the panels with?

1973 big block camaro roof. Other than that, best i can tell is its like 18ga could be 16 though. I'll gauge it tomorrow.

I thought it but I didn't say it. Turns out I didn't need to.

haha. yea, my dad and I both have camaros. My brother and mom have mustangs. It was a parts car, and I wasnt going to let anything go to waste. It died for a good cause, most of the parts went into my 71 RS/SS.
