‘67 Chevelle windscreen channel and A pillar repair part 1

This is an explanation of how I am replacing the rusted areas around the windshield area of my ‘67 Chevelle SS. I couldn't find videos on repair of the channel including the "A" pillars and it was said there were no replacement pieces for the inner pillars, so, I found the pieces on eBay and I am in the process of cutting out the rotted areas and replacing only what is needed around the dash and roof. I am NOT a professional body man, I am a tool maker and machinist with some level of metal working and body work is interesting as I have done some here and there. If you will notice I have braced the total area around the windshield with structural tubing to support the front half of the body around the pillars so they will stay in place so I will reduce the amount of shifting hopefully when the pillars are totally out inside and out before welding them back. I hope some part of this will be helpful to other DIY people, and keep the slams to a minimum please as I am not a professional camera man, nor is my son who is kind enough to help me out occasionally. I have to correct a statement I made about everything else being OK, this car had some rot spots in the floor pans and trunk area, but I have seen far worse! I would say it was typical 50 year old rust from wet feet and rain settling around from the windscreens and draining into the rear window, trunk and floor areas under the carpet. I will be replacing only what is needed so I will reduce the amount of heat and potential for warping of any of the panels new or original. Hope to continue these videos as I get time to work out the bad spots. I have done what I call “stitch welded“ the outside of the pillar post bottom in the next video. Thanks for viewing and hope I have helped someone.
