1964 Chevrolet Panel Truck

 

 

The title pic here shows Robb's beloved 1964 Chev Panel Truck... You will see as the photos tell the story below that a lot of rust was beginning to take its toll under the shiny facade...

 

This is the area of concern that Robb had in regards to his panel... If you look at the enlarged pic you can see the cracking that was taking place...

With very little effort I was knocking off chunks of body filler up to 1" thick, as you can see moisture had been getting behind the filler for quite some time...

 

This is a close up to show you the extent of the devastation that's been taking place on this 1/4 panel...

You'll also notice random drilled holes, some of them would have been done to assist in pulling out the damage, but I would bet most were done to help anchor the sheer volume of body filler required to smooth over this job... The level was used to see the distortion in the metal in the upper belt line...

 

This is damage in the middle belt-line area of the panel truck...

This is the sheet metal that was cut out beside the new piece that was fabbed to replace it...

 

As you'll notice in this picture the forward 1/4 panel has been repaired as the damage has been replaced...
