This is bringing back a lot of memories David. You are doing a good job on the replacement panels. As bad as it seems, I really enjoyed that part.

Thanks for the compliment Steve. It is tedious work, i.e. lots of trial fitting, grinding, rewelding on patch panels to make them fit. But welding the panels in and creating fresh sheet metal is a rewarding task, something you can take pride in. Knowing that with a good rustproofing treatment, the truck is ready for another 60 years of service.

The main gripe I have is where you figured you cut enough rusty metal out to have solid, fresh, weldable sheet metal. You trim the patch panels to size, only to burn a hole through what looked like good sheet metal, but was already rusted out.

By the way, Steve: did you recieve my email?
