Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleen Full Stock Resto Build Thread

Started back on the right side rust repair today, got everything cut out and a couple pieces ready to weld back in.

Started by drilling the spot welds. These weren't welded to anything though...




Separating the layers.




Inner rocker out, exposing whats left of the kick panel layer.




Inside half of the inner rocker.




Making a paper template to fix the rusted spot.




Template transfered to metal, and I rolled a bead along the spot what will be the edge once its bent.




Bending the edge in the metal brake.




Edge detail.




Front edge folded up straight like the original piece.




Both pieces bead blasted, marking the original for cutting.
