At this point I grabbed the grinder and knocked down some of the welds, honestly this is the step I don't enjoy. cutting and making patches and welding is fun, grinding not so much. So after I thought about it I decided not to go all out since it is the floor it will be covered in sound deadening and carpet nobody is gonna see it once the truck is done so I shot some primer on it and called it done.
Next up is the inner lower cab corner and outer lower cab corner. Now I bought both of these patch panels a while ago and while the outer patch fit fine without much "adjusting" the inner lower patch was a piece of crap. I could have made my own that looked and fit better. I spend more time monkeying around with that panel than anything else to this point. The outer lower patch only needed some minor tweeking to fit, must be a better stamping process...
I welded in the outer patch and now I was feeling like I was really making some progress. All that was left was the awkward hole that I made taking out the rusty section midway up the corner.
