[Roust]

And now I am back to being up to date.

My next major step is to get the toe board made up and put into place.

I need some help with this as I don't know how to support it while trimming it and I would like some thoughts on how to stiffen it. I plan on making it out of 16 gauge metal. I don't have a way to put any contours or bead rolls into it. Perhaps spot welding some steel flat bar to the inside of it (in the cab)?
I am confident that I made the bottom leading edge of the firewall as true and straight as possible compared to the floorboard and rest of the cab. It is also the broken edge of the sheet so it should be damn straight.

Also, I am getting to the point where I need to figure out how to paint this thing as a go to protect the metal. I notice a lot of surface rust after a week or two.
Any thoughts on paint as I go from protection? Something I wouldn't have to strip off later. I don't even know where to start.

I may post these two questions separately in the general discussion section of the board to cast a larger net.
