I have been working on the panel but I have been doing stuff that isn’t real exciting. I lost a couple of days, one because my wife's computer took a dump so I had to fix it, and the other was we both had doctors appointments the same day and I had to drive her home from hers..

Anyways, I got the rust cut out at the bottom corners of the windshield, welded in new metal, and finished it off with a little Metal-to-Metal filler. Put a couple of coats of primer on it today. I decided to go ahead and prep the interior heater boxes so they are ready to paint.

When I was under it loading it on the trailer to bring it home I noticed the bottom of the gas tank was wet with fuel. I figured I might as well drop it and check it out. It looks pretty nasty with a big patch on it, and it’s leaking around the patch. Looks like it’s time to scrounge a tank…. I also sorted out some parts that need blasted so I can do them all at once.
