Rust progress

Well bod wise I almost have everthing that I could stick my fist though patched up and ground down. I have successfully done 7 of 8 holes, but number 8 is given me grief, driver side rear box a area 2feet by 1 foot, yikes.

So if I can finish that tommorrow, then rust patch my driver side kick pan, which is another pain I'll be set.

Then as I looked I have 14 holes of rust a shined up along both sides of my rocker pan, but shouldn't be to hard as the biggest one is 4inches by 2 inches. Then just gota fibreglass under my tailights.

Then after cruise still gotta rebuild some of m cab struts which have rusted away.....
Oh well more rust expierence. LOL but truck isn't lookin to bad, took lots of pics, if there is interest be sure to post em.

Sorry forgot to mention. It is the 1969 I'm working on. Here is a picture of the girl who is still giving me frustration Rust work was done on the 1957 last winter.

I'm not the best teacher, each patch is trial and error, guess my only lesson is first make it out of cardboard, lot easier and cheaper then to fiddle with metal.
