How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

I have finally started in on doing major body work. I removed the cab lower wall skin using a spot welding drill bit. it worked reasonably well except I found it cut into the base metal sometimes and other times it really wandered around. When I removed the skin three of the wall braces fell right out. I went down to metalsuper market today and picked up a sheet of 18ga sheet metal. They cut it all to size for me. Tomorrows task is to sandblast the frame and then begin attaching the panel. Once I get this done i will be moving onto the roof.

One aspect I am not to sure about is how to paint the backside of the frame. I would like to POR15 it but then Im worried about how to weld the skin on. If I weld the skin then POR15 everything will I get it sealed enough to stop rust formation inside the joint?
