Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
Getting started on the rear cab panel seam repairs. There were two spots rotted out in the seam itself, the cab corners were rusted out, and the gap across the upper seam itself was uneven and needed evening out. I decided to remove the rear panel to gain full access to the upper seam rust and also make it easier to work out the dents. Doing this allowed me to sandblast inbetween the seams that can't be reached normally.
