More steps back again today...

I've know this was here for a while, but it was a lot worse than I thought!

I found another 6 or 7 holes after I stripped more of the paint off the bottom, but it's all good now. I'm adding CST nose trim and plan to paint the nose white, so I put the trim on and marked as high as I could to with the repair and stayed below it. I drilled out the weak spots to good metal and welded the holes shut.

I have a near perfect original paint hood saved for this truck, but that's for the next phase. This one will do for now, but if I were to keep it, it needs that whole section cut out and replaced!
