Yeah steven i have done more than just changed corners and rockers.....lol

Eric

Well just a little update.....I am probly almost 75% done with the cab...... i have most of the fire wall all slick and ready for primer and i have both inner rockers built and installed...but still have to put the rockers on but that is just a matter of sticking in place and welding now.....i finshed out the cab corner on the pass side and i think i have about got rid of all my dings on my cab........I buttoned up the cowl on the pass side where i had to cut out so i couls replace all the bad metal......When i get home all i have to do to the drivers side is install my mounting plate for my new fuse block and run a pipe for my wire to pass through in my cowl to hide wires coming out of fire wall and then i can button up that side and slick that side off.....Then screw my rockers back in place and test fit the doors one more time before welding.....then start sanding all the inside of cab and priming and then go on the mad search for any more dings.....lol I have a few pics but i have to resize so i can post but it will have to be another day.....


Eric

Sounds like you are ready Eric! You probrably know this already but a real good way to find all the dings and waves that like to play hide and seek is to go over it real quick with 320 on a da with an interface pad, then wipe it with a wax and grease remover. This will mimic clear long enough to sight down the panel. You will see EVERYTHING, stuff you never thought were there. I take a sharpie and mark all the little areas that need just alittle touch up then prime block one more time.

I know your picky like the rest of us. This is how I do it to see the "invisible" stuff.

Yeah Keith i have done it that way.....i try to find everything i can find by the old trusty hand....then i either do it your way but if i am running low on degreaser i use a wet cloth or a sray bottle....

Well i guys i plan to get back on the truck monday and try and finsh out some welding on the bottom of the cab and then undercoat.....I will have to resize the pics i have of the rockers and then post but will try to do that today......I am getting really excited with it now.....

Eric

Glad you are getting back on it Eric. I cant wait to see it done along with everyone elses.
