Windshield A pillar

[yennchi45]

I replaced both a pillars and the header panel across the ttop myself. Bought a mig welder and went to it. One side at a time . Lots of pre measurements and patience. I have pics if you’re interested

I have a mig welder and also have access to a tig welder and a plasma cutter. So tools and skills with those tools are not an issue more of not sure where to start is the issue. So yes if you have pictures that would be greatly appreciated.

Much of my issues with the a pillars were due to rot at the bottom so a lot of fab work to weld in new steel. The important part is what has to stay correct like where the inner fenders bolt to the body.

Take measurements from the back of the b pillar to the front. Use tape to mark your spots on the b pillar that the measurement was taken along with the height measurement for the top of the a pillars to the rockers, lots of measurements help. If doing it one side at a time it almost falls into place. It was a lot more intimidating than actually doing it.
