Half way done with cab rust

I finally finished cutting-out all the rust on the passenger side of my 66 cab. Welding in the new metal was a real challenge. WHEW! Today, I made the first cut on the driver's side and took out most of the sill. When I grabbed it to lay it aside...a huge rat nest fell out of it (picture). I named this truck right..."Ratnest".. after finding a mummified rat in the glovebox when I first got it home.

 

Now all you need is a big block, then it would be fitting..... Rat

 

Hmmm..that way Ratnest would have another meaning...cool idea.

 

Tatoo for your front fender rear quarter.....

 

That is perfect....sure reminds me of this project.

 

Yesterday I cut out 95% of the driver's side rust. Here's a before welding picture. I'm going to save the door pillars by adding some new metal. That will make alignment of the new patch panels much easier.
