Re: Boy is she rough…

If i ever do this again i will do a couple things differently.
A) Try to leave the firewall/toeboard on and just fix it.
B) I pulled the roof skin off to clean under there and to fix the rust above the windshield and that was the right choice. The outer skin had a little rust around the edges and I should have just tried to fix that instead of having to source a new skin. Ive been using that for patch material so its not a total waste, but i really think it could have been saved.
C) If i had the budget I would just buy new doors. Ive got untold hours in just one and its still just "ok". Every truck Ive owned has always had a ding in the body line on the door and ive never been able to get that perfect.
