Re: Skidmore '67 C20

I have been plodding along in the garage, figured I should share an update.

I bought some ACC Essex Carpet in Charcoal, from Rock Auto. I could have waited, but I wanted to have it here for color matching. When it arrived, I was a little shocked that it wasn't the color I had seen as a sample. I have since learned that the different carpet levels have the same names for some colors, but are totally different. After a little adjustment, I decided that I really like this color. It should go with my future plans for tan leather seats.

I also finished shaping the stubborn outer passenger rocker and got it on the truck, finally. I used panel bond (for the first time) to attach the step to the inner rocker, I didn't want to spot weld it like factory. It is a prime area for water to collect and rust, which is accelerated by the spot welds. I also welded up the seam on the B-pillar. The rest of it was just the typical spot welds.
