Re: TA_C10: Stage 1

So over the past couple months, I have been doing some research and trying to figure out how the heck I am going to fix my mistakes and move forward. I started on the drivers side, bolted the door back on, got it as close to aligned as I could(I marked the doors before I removed them but didn't do much good as they were already off from PO) and took a ratchet strap and pulled the rear of the cab as close as I could to the rear of the door and then welded in some cross braces.

I also removed a big section of the dynomat where I remembered there was a water drip under the dash and yep, you guessed it, found more rust and holes. The seam had been filling up with water I guess and eventually rusted through so I sanded it all down and tried to just fill it in with my MIG. I was able to fill all the holes in on the drivers side. Seeing it like this makes me want to weld in the hole seam but I don't think I will, its getting covered back up anyways.

This is basically how it sits today.
