Respectfully, I watched this video of your fixing this hood. Thinking it will be the most boring thing for me but trust that you always have the best content I get much from. You never disappoint me this video is so cool Sir! Who’d of thought I’d get so much from fab-up work, but I find it so interesting how you approach and are truly a master at what you do! Thanks much “again” you Rock the old steel! P.S. today my turn signal switch get here from Jegs. Had issue after the “American AutoWire” install. Found the turn signal switch is bad caused no turn for left and no brake light for left either. Today, wire-up aftermarket digital “Glowshift” gauges. And that turn signal switch, reinstall the bench seat get it inspected. Thanks for all these informative videos on our beloved “63’s!”

This junkyard you go to must be a wonderful place. We used to have one near Peru, IN that was an absolute gold mine, FULL of these trucks. Back when scrap prices went through the roof, it seemed they couldn’t send the hundreds of classic vehicles they had to the crusher fast enough. Nothing left now but an empty patch of woods and a dilapidated building that housed the office. Makes me sick to even drive past it these days. Most of the trucks they had looked like they had been driven in and parked. I got a lot of good parts there back before the internet and catalog companies came along.

As always, very professional work. Don't know if you are aware. Your weld shop should have "Knotted" wire wheels for your 4"/4 1/2" grinder. They work quite well for rust removal. Quite aggressive and you MUST be careful. Also found that a set of "Rota-Broach" drill bits works better.

I’m using the Lincoln pro mig 135 with gas it’s hard to tell you the settings something you’ll have to play around with it, I go from A to B on the heat and around 4 to 5 on the wire speed but this could change on different gauge metal. try practicing on two pieces of sheet metal and if you burn through turn the heat down then go with it from there
