Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

Still trying to apply the two minute rule. If I can do it in 2 minutes, I get it done. In reality, it's actually a 20 minute rule for me. I'm slowly but surely working through the To Do list.

I welded in new door hinge nuts. I have managed to grind about 90% of the welds that need it. I keep making passes around the truck cleaning up mess welds and welds that didn't survive my grinding.

I installed the studs that support the bracket that holds the lower back corner of the front left inner fender. The old ones went out with the old rusted floor. Fortunately I carefully measured, made a sketch and took pictures of how I measured the locations. Never can have too much information.

Decided to set up for the install of the smooth dash. Tilted the cab forward which makes it particularly easy to access.

Scribed the lower edge of the dash. Has a slight curve to it.
