Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"

Very nice progress Dean. You are getting down to the nasty stuff now. I can remember this stage all too well. Be sure to check your firewall by the blower motor real good. I had some rust bubble back up after a few years. I got it all cut out this time hopefully. It's a pain in the tail after I had it all blocked out and ready for paint. Keep the pictures coming.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"

got the B-pillar done a few days ago. ive been fitting the outer rocker which is a big PITA !! but i almost have it fitting well. i figured if the gap on on the bottum of the door was too small i could make up for it when i do my inner and outer door bottums. but all is going pretty good . nothing terribly challenging
