Default Re: The '37 Dually is finally coming together

A bit more progress on the Dually...


Trying to match up a 6 rib long running board to a 5 rib short board was a bit challenging. Ended up making a kerf in the center of the 3 outside ribs and pounding them down flat as possible. Had some pieces of non skid so I used it to cover up the now flat section.



There was no way I was gonna be able to match the 80+ years of rust pitting and texture of the long boards. So I did the best I could with my limited MIG and body experience.


Not by any means a "perfect" repair, but I'm trying to keep this whole project looking how it would if repaired on my Grandparents farm in the 40's and 50's.
