Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Well welding in the patch section to the top of the roof was an epic fail. Had a few places where I must have got it to hot and caused some severe shrinking of the metal so it created a few rolls in the panel.
Now is time to will move forward with plan B and use the entire skin that I removed from one of the cabs tops I bought last week. I am going to take my time and try to remove the upper skin in the rain gutter areas without drilling through. I will probably cut the back of just before the seem about 1/2" away from factory seem where it is ridgid and less prone to shrinkage. Hopefully all goes well and I can get back on track for painting back of cab and front of bed so I can re-install. I do always plan a few setbacks on every build but this is one I did not see coming.
