Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Thanks guys!

flashy... I made the decision to give this a shot and ran with it. But... it was still pretty tough making those first few cuts. I was a bit less apprehensive when cutting out the floor as none of it would be seen. But the cuts into the "A" pillar and the rear cab corner were a bit more "scary". I bet I sat there for an hour and a half with the cutting wheel in my hand deciding on how to start that cab corner cut. But... again, I just went for it. It looks "decent" in primer, but it will need a tad bit of Bondo to smooth it all out. Which is something else I've never done... so that will be a whole 'nother process!
