Your getting there. I knew my current projects cab was bad, but I did 90% all new floor with custom bracing all new inner/outer cowls and kick panels. 70 hours later, almost done.
The shop is 60' x 100' and the front half is the shop. Built by my Dad and uncle in the late 1960's out of 3 and 4 inch drill stem pipe. Been there before on kick panels and floor pieces. The little black truck spoiled me as it was rock solid.

I need to do my toe boards as well but I'm gaining.


Keep up the great work.

Great Marc that looks good, I am taking the same route. GM didn't spare on the spot welds when they installed the seat riser. Now to figure out why it is still attached at the back.

Having a great time.....now to figure out how to do this full time.
