Re: Long Time Coming......

Todays adventures was the start of the cab corners on both sides. While outwardly they looked good, the inside showed signs of a previous repair using fiberglass matting. I am replacing both the inner and outer corners on both sides.

Here is a before of the passenger side....



As you can see the outside didn't look that bad. But I couldn't leave it either.


Once cut I could pull it out some and was able to see the many years of crud that had fallen and was trapped in the corner.....




I drilled out all the spot welds holding the old inner corner in place, then started fitting the new replacement piece.

My plan for tomorrow is to weld the inners in place, then brush epoxy over the entire surrounding area. I also need to rehang the doors before final fitting the cab corners before I can weld them in place.
