Re: '70 Sport Custom Rebuild - working on doors

Post by sargentrs »

I used some sheet metal shears and my cut off tool to cut the piece out.

Now to form the v-break in it. Since I don't have a bench vise, I had to improvise with boards, pipe clamps, hammer and pliers. I clamped the piece between my bench and a board and tapped it down about 45*.

Then flipped it over on the other bend line and tapped the other way down about 45%, spun around and repeated on the other bend line.

When I was done, I had a halfway decent v-break in my oversized patch piece.
mms_img1826308873.jpg
About 45 minutes with my pliers, snips and the bench grinder and I think I've got something that'll work.

Had a few more minutes so I started on the outer patches. I had cut a piece of outer door skin from my parts truck before I scrapped it so I used it to mark out my outer patch pieces so I'd match the curve of the door panel.

Cut 'em out with my snips

and spent another 20 minutes on the bench grinder and had the front patch ready.

I had been dreading this part all along but, all in all, it wasn't too bad. Now to weld 'em in and pretty 'em up.

Re: '70 Sport Custom Rebuild - bump therapy

Post by sargentrs »

So I've been kinda down about not making any progress on my truck. Haven't had a day off work since New Year's and weekends are filled with visiting grandkids, grocery shopping and honey do's. I've been about to blow up! So I took today and Monday off work to spend some quality time in the man cave and do SOMETHING for the truck, anything! Crawled off into the blast/paint booth, dropped the door down and fired up the blaster. Hot, nasty, smelly....just what I needed. After a quality 5 hours of "man time", I had a few parts ready to paint. I feel much better now. Monday, we paint.

I'm with you on the therapy! Just leave me, my chemicals and tools alone and I'll return a happy man.

Good work! You're making me want to go do more body work!

Looks like a lot as been accomplished with the little time that you had :thup: . That sand blasting sure beats the crap out of grinding and sanding no matter what size of blaster is provided.
