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

Thanks Swampy! Great job on the patch panels in your rig! I'm not going near as deep as you did into the floor pans. I bought the larger toe pieces "just in case", but so far I am only needing to take out about 2" to 4" out of the inner rocker and floor. The "outer floor and inner rocker" panel I bought is probably gonna do the trick. I have a lot of surface rust that I will treat with Rust Mort and then primer over once I'm done welding.

I took a LOT of measurements and cut the door pillar and kick panel out last night. There will be pics later on.
