Another "I just found this thread and read through the whole thing" post. I am very impressed with some of the subtle (and not so subtle) mods that you chose to make and have taken away plenty of ideas for my own build. That hood sectioning mod blew me away!
One question I have though, what is this tool for? You said you made it when you were filling holes in the cab. My only guess would be you cover the hole with the copper section and weld against it helping you fill in the hole? Am I even remotely close? haha
Looking forward to seeing the truck in paint. Keep up the good work!
