Default Re: 1966 GMC 1000 - Making it Mine!

Made myself a homemade welding spoon... had some scrap 3/4 inch copper pipe around... just unsoldered it from the other chunk, cleaned up an end, heated it up and smacked it flat with a hammer. Made a little angle for easier positioning...

Couldn't use it for the top holes, just did what I did last time... making sure to protect the glass with a welding blanket.

I was able to get the spoon inside the door for the bottom holes... and it helped.

I had skimmed the other side with putty... but as I was prepping this side, I noticed there are other rust spots under the paint that I will have to address. Now that the holes are filled, time to take the rest of the cab down to bare metal so I can find this hidden rust and treat it!
