If five people like this video I'll redo the rocker panel.
Upon retrospection, trying to weld a small strip of metal between the two panels was not going to work, but I didn't know that then. The cargo floors came out nice though, looking forward to being able to weld them in after some of the other pieces are in place.
Thanks for watching :)

I have been checking in daily for weeks and weeks now waiting for the next installment. I thoroughly enjoy my time sitting with a coffee and watching this project come along. Brandon...well done, sir. You are knocking it out of the park!

I appreciate you checking in! Moved garages and some family stuff slowed me down, but I’m back at it every day now!

The work on the rocker panel is a hard one. Your just about there just needs more dolly and hammer work or a slapper. To help you find the high and lows use a long body file and file the surface. The floor looks extremely nice as always. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing. Bob. 👍😁👍

Thanks Bob! I definitely could keep working the panel, I need some acetylene or a shrinking disc but I think I’m going to redo it completely.

Your work is superb. I can understand that you are disappointed with the panel you tried to re-use with the fill in strip, but you gave it a try. Other restorers would be happy to accept what you achieved, but you're a perfectionist: at the end of the day, what matters is whether the restorer is satisfied with the outcome, so I wouldn't describe the job as a failure, just something that didn't work out for you this time and a learning experience for the next. Best wishes.

So true! Thank you for the kind comment. The perfectionist in me definitely wants to start over in some areas, but many of the repairs are strong enough and will look straight with some fiberglass reinforced filler.

If you see this Bully, how it was rusted hidden, in between the metals... I would never buy one like these, because I couldn't repair it. I mean there are none Bully without that rust - or am I wrong?

@BrandonsBus 3 ай бұрын

I don’t know, I think they are all pretty rusted out. This one more than most 🙃
