The 48 is sitting on the frame, waiting on bushings for the cab so my buddy and I can go to the next step. So I started working on the 54 cab. Since there isn't enough room in the shop for the 48 sitting on it's frame, the 54 cab and the S10 to be dissembled for the 54, I started working on the 54 cab. I thought I'd get the cab as ready as possible for the frame while my buddy gets his priorities worked out.
When I bought the 54 I knew there was some bondo on the drivers side in front of the door.

It is at least 3/8" thick in places. I took a wire wheel to it to see what I had and got fed up. I'm replacing it.
Then I cut the first patch.

Yes, that's a 3rd windshield wiper hole. The PO built some wiper contraption that used that hole. The riders side was just bondo'd up.
Funny story, I took the time to clean the shop before I started on the 54 cab. Now, after the wire wheel on the bondo, it's not too clean any more! That pink dust is everywhere.
