Smile Around the cab in 80 days

We finished our final patch on the cab yesterday. Went back and counted and its been 80 days we have been doing metal working on the cab; seems like forever.

We are going for a clean look and are going to mount speakers in a custom wood box behind the seat. So we decided to take out the speaker grill on the dash and put in a solid patch. We went real slow to make sure there was no warping.

Here is a picture of the cut out speaker grill.

We also replaced the passenger side rain guide (guessing that's what it's called) on the front door pillar. Ours had a fair amount of cancer so we formed a new piece and put it in. This was another challenge to form. It has a flat side an inch long to attach to the door pillar, then and reverse bend and then a 90 degree bend. Lots of tinkering around to get it right.

So today we are will be putting away the saws and welder for a while and finally get to start doing some body work and priming on the cab.
