Re: PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

I'm in the middle of trying to get the radiator support rust repaired. I ran across this channel on YouTube. The guy is pretty talented and shares some cool tricks. I'm very surprised there are not more views. Really good info.

This one I will follow because I bought the Brothers patch kit and his technique will be helpful.
If I'd realized the extent of my rust I might have just bought one, but I'm still happy to save the $200 and do it myself.

I'm just glad I *didn't* see this one before just buying a new inner right fender. I like to do everything myself, but my time is limited and it's so tempting to take on more. Really cool tricks with the guide pieces and jigs.
