Cab is all good, only rust is upper passenger side drip rail. It is bad up there, so i will have some repair to do. Finding all the repair panels has been a challenge. i have a large shipment from Classic Industries and LMC on the way.
Find a way to get it sealed in epoxy as quickly as possible. When I did the cab for my 67/68, the flash rusting happened so quick it was unreal. It was summer-time so the heat & humidity played a part but I should have prepped & had everything ready to clean & spray once it rolled into the driveway.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
