Those are sweet little clamps you got there
They’re a must for the job. Makes it much easier.

When I get around to doing some of my rust repair I will have to get a few.
I only get about one day a week to work on this if I’m lucky, so progress is slow.
Painted diff cover. Not sure why. Also changed fluid in front diff. Then half the fluid ran out of the pinion seal. So I guess I’ll add that to the list.
Passenger side rear floor area welded to inner rocker.
Passengers side all burned in finally. I can’t believe how terrible these aftermarket panels fit. Would take half the time if I could get GM metal.
Prepping for paint and such.
Currently working on making the 208 shifter functional.

That's how we did mine. Worked good.
I took the passenger door off to replace the upper door pin and bushings. Might as well paint the jamb and rocker while door is off.
Went to put the door back on and noticed it had some cracks. Had to weld those up.
Decided to go for a drive and get some fuel since it had been sitting a while.
Back in the garage to work on the drivers side now. Shouldn’t take as long as the passenger side did I hope
Gauge restoration. Old housing was junk. Got a new one, new printed circuit, and new lens. Cleaned up everything else.

I also forgot to show off my new toy

I may have missed it in the thread somewhere, but what exhaust do you have? Were tailpipes part of a kit or just custom fab? I really like the way they sit/exit
Did a few patches this week. Drew out my line for my next and hopefully last patch. But probably not. Some of the light rust I’m just clean up and put a rust converter on it and call it a day.
Just about done with sheet metal work finally.

That's a big hurdle!
Finally got to work on this again a little while I’m home on my ronacation. Finished the welding up and seam sealed my welds. Got the stubborn bolts out of the rear seat bolt down. Cleaned up the scaly spots and applied some SEM rust converter. Next up scuff everything and prime and paint. Or should I use POR15 on the rusty/scaly area? Then I have some killmat to apply.
Here’s my solution for the idiot who hacked my dash. It’s not super pretty, but you won’t see it and it works.
And I actually had it outside blowing all the dust and stuff out so I took it around the block.

I really like how well por15 does on pitted rusty areas. It doesn’t seem to bond well to clean slick or painted surfaces but on anything that has some texture I’ve yet to find anything better. I have a similar problem with my dash I need to get my radio and see if I need to weld in some metal to hold it. The truck looks so good I’m a big fan of the faded paint on top of the fenders it gives it so much character.
Check out Project Farm on YouTube. He's got a really good video testing diy bedliners and also one on rust converters that I haven't watched yet.
Drove it around the block with a manual transmission and no seat!?
That would have been amusing to see!

Yep sat on a bucket. Was quite awkward.
