Well, I basically need to hack into the fresh paint job and move a panel a skoosh. Everything is going to be just fine. email: ratzlaffmotorco@gmail.com website: ratzlaffmotorco.com
Hey Jay. How can it be an old saying, if you just made it up? Ha-ha. I learned a long time ago and still live by this, "It happened, It's done, Now take a moment and fix it." Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Well, it reminds me of when I put the engine and transmission back in my car last spring only to find out that I had installed the clutch disc reversed. Things like that will happen even with the best of intentions. You fixed it and you learned something from it! Great job. You did the right thing.
Frustrating indeed! But, you did the right thing; satisfying the moral obligation, & got'er done. I'm not much if a body man but I think I followed your line of thought in your explanation. If I did, then I think the blame does not totally rest on you. On the upside, your 20-20 hindsight is still intact -- that's a good thing. Take care & keep looking up.
Who among us has never made a goof? We love your channel because we can relate to you, the owner of that truck is blessed to have you working on it, quality work sometimes takes a do over, and what a fantastic do over it was! Great job, now get that steak dinner today! God bless!
My truck, the kick panel caused a similar issue of door not closing. Had to jack dash away from floor and then do kick panel. (I caught it by test fitting door before finishing any welding 😜) Mayhaps your kick panel has fallen down a bit?
Question - I'm restoring a 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS, I have paperwork going back to the original buyer, the car was sold out of Bowles Chevrolet Co., Atwood, Kansas...just curious if you had heard of this dealership?
Tell ya what. I have a 55 cameo and 56 f100. The ford is a better design and fittment.. the door windows and internal access, hinges.. the gaps wedge and pinch pretty bad on the chevy. The fender mounts to the cab and dirt traps are better on the ford. And it seems the rear cab corners rott on all the chevys. The stepside fenders dont match the cab on the chevy. My 2 favorite trucks thou.
I offer you this from Theodor Roosevelt: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat
