Forgot to mention I made the rookie welder mistake, short sleeve shirt and lots of welding = a funny sunburn on the bottom of my left arm. :whine: One more pic of the stoopid hole deletes......dang welder.

are you going to weld the rear notch in or just be left bolted? obviously welded would look cleaner but can it be left just as a bolt in?
that PB stuff sure looks nice to work with.

After pondering that exact question over and over in my mind I concluded that it will remain a bolt in. It does look really nice in a mechanical way, it adds something to the frame since all the holes are now history. Another thing that many people do not realize is that when you order PB you can get it in either bolt-on or weld in. I didn't know this when I ordered but the bolt in was what I wanted. Glad to have you swingin by the build, it's been a while!!!:metal:

27 holes on each side of the frame are filled. Now to fill the larger holes and slots. Doesn't look like swiss cheese any longer! I should be able to get more done.....my last day at work is this Thursday, layoffs suck!!! I'll be back in the saddle again soon!!

The only bright side is more truck time. Sure sucks about the job though. Hopefully things work out Friday and I can swing by the shop.

The market is not as bad as I thought so I may be back in a job fast! Can't complain but a little truck time would be nice. Swing on by, I'll be at the shop!!:metal:

I think everybody got a case of the warm fuzzies from that.
Commit random acts of kindness, you might just enjoy it.

Aint that the truth. The other day I went into Dairy Queen and they asked if I would donate to some kids fund. I says what the heck and gave them a buck. They gave me $2 in coupons. Then on my way out I'm in the giving mood so I jump on the Blood donation bus and gave blood for the first time. They gave me a ten dollar gift card for Lowe's.(I work there) The guy inside the bus says he lives around the corner and has a New dishwasher he needs gone so I got a Free new dishwasher. I think I'm addicted.

I did a little fabrication work on the firewall and windsheild frame. It was nice getting back on the body after spending so long on the frame. The driprail needed to be smoothed out and it came out pretty good. Also deleted the ac holes.
Attachment 1418392
This is all new to me so don't be too harsh!!!
Attachment 1418393
I have moved forward with trying my hand at fabbing up parts, my first peice was the windsheild frame patch where I had to cut to lay it back. I made a template and then cut it out.
Attachment 1418394
It fit pretty well on my first try.

I finished deleting the drip rail/wire loom gutter and moved to the cover. Pay no attention to all the junk in the truck, it was cleaned out!!!:lol:
Attachment 1418410
I used a rubber mallet and a concave jackstand to pound the cover into a slight bend in the center which in turn made it bend to just the right curve to fit the area to be covered.:metal:
Attachment 1418411
A little prefit and very minimal grinding got it just right.
Attachment 1418412
I tacked it on and started measuring my cowl to see exactly how I was going to make it look right. That my friends, is next weekends project!!!
