This is about the resurrection of a 1967 Ford F100 Short Bed that was given to me in 1983 as a Christmas gift for my first car. In November of 1992 it was parked at my mom's house in Fort Stockton, TX. 20 years later in November 2012, I started to bring it back to life. This is the story...

Cab Work Continued
Finished welding up several holes in the floor including the clutch linkage hole and the former gas inlet to the cab. It was a cold windy day and motivation was low. After piddling around for most of the afternoon, Doug came over and we decided to pick on the passenger side floorboard. It was rusted petty good but not enough for me to graft in a new floor. We poured muratic acid on the rust parts of the floor, bushed, rinsed, repeated. After getting most of the rust cleaned out we put down a layer of fiber glass coating and filling all the rusted pits and holes. Since it was below 50 degrees I used a heat gun to warm up the area so the chemistry would react and it hardened up real good.
