(recap of phase 1)
Rebuilt dash
(after grinding out 1-2" of bondo and pulling the sheet out)
Found this mess. I found out grandad turned too sharp with his 5th wheel and crunched the fender. He has his friend 'fix' it by packing 1.5" of bondo and slapped some paint on it. He used an old school dent puller and drilled a poopload of holes in the panel. To bad they didnt have stud guns back then! I had to cut out an access out of the bed side so I could get a dolly on it. I used a stud gun, pulled the dent and got it back into shape. I had to use a thin skim coat of filler but it was nowhere close to the mess I started with. -Getting this panel beat back into shape was a HUGE time waster. I should of just got a patch out of a junkyard. -This started when I 'thought' I would try and keep it original. LOL
Now.....I wait a year. I build some guitars, MC's and a few other projects.
