Hello. In today’s video we will begin the rust repair on the 1948 GMC truck cab. We will start off by replacing the lower door post, repairing the broken front body mount and building a new front floor pan using simple tools. It can be intimidating knowing where to start on any major rust repair project, so I will also spend some time discussing how I approach rust repair and how to avoid making devastating mistakes.

I find the only useful comments/criticism I get for my projects (not just the car ones) comes from people who have done similar themselves so speak from experience. That's incredibly useful. The bulk of the criticism however comes from people who have no practical experience themselves and don't really know what they are talking about. They just base it on something they read once somewhere or from something they saw someone else do once on YouTube. Most don't even realise there is usually more than one way to solve a problem. It will just get worse as your channel grows unfortunately but soon you won't be able to keep an eye on all comments anyway so I wouldn't worry about it!
Solid plan.
Good job keeping things real. Had a laugh at the snow on the trucks. Not really familiar to that in Australia, more likely to be dust and redback spiders. That said, after the fires last year we are being flooded.
Nice work. Almost makes me want to start another winter project. My lazy butt is telling me otherwise though. I mean, just keeping my Jetta drive-able is a project unto itself. Tell the kitty I sad hey
Man this questioned all over where to begin? But you bring the answers ! Thanks JW
Enough sweet talk….! I'll watch whether you like it or not!!!
Sweet, it's off to a good start.
Wise choice Kyle using what looks like a 48 to 50 Chevy cab in place of the GMC . Most people won't know the difference and it should be a lot less work . Oh and i'm one those guys that likes to watch the so called boring welding at normal speed because it shows me where i am making my mistakes trying to teach myself welding .
