Re: 32 Ford Pickup Sheetmetal Work !
your truck is coming soon John!!
well i have been fighting this truck for a while with measurements . thanks hotrodprimer for some measurements and Carter for stopping by today to take a look! door is hitting the subrail not allowing it to close what i now believe to be the root of all evil for the door not fitting hard to see the more serious damage but the center of the area is sunk in a bunch

Re: 32 Ford Pickup Sheetmetal Work !
How did you join the new piece in the pillar without making those tack welds that you removed? No visible means of spot welding which is all i know.

Re: 32 Ford Pickup Sheetmetal Work !
robert i like to blast after to test my work . blasting is gonna blow through any weak spots that i do not want to show their heads later on down the line !
there are tiny spot welds there dumb the problem in the b pilar! that should be a circle you can see how much it was bashed in and the crappy door gap hard to see but a short video of the whole pillar moving and after the removal of the smashed subframe and bracing

Re: 32 Ford Pickup Sheetmetal Work !
I see your logic....and after my own welding, I blast it again.....epoxy primer holds forever on the freshly blasted metal. Robert
