Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Long time no post.

Been busy with the GMC, though. Started on the long awaited body work.

List of rust repairs to do:
- Front fenders + reinforcements
- Both lower side of doors
- Both rockers, kick panels and floor sections
- Upper front windshield frame is completely rotted away. This will be quite the work I think.
- Hood, corners and around the hinges.
- Right hand cab corner.
- New windshield rubber
- Rebuild the vent windows.
- Bed fenders & dent removal
- Bed rear cross sill
- Tailgate dent removal
- Right side cab braces

Started with replacing the tired cab mounts with polyurethane cab mounts. This way we have a good starting point. Next up is the the driver side door. Replaced the hinge bushings as well.
Driver side doors needs 2 patches in the outer skin, and a completely new inner bottom panel. Was my first serious sheet metal, made some mistakes and learned from them.
