On the grinding.... My plan is to leave the outside rough cut until I get the inner panel in place, this will give me plenty to weld to around the window opening and once the inner panel is in place I can cut or grind down to the inner panel lip.
I have a big window cab here and two more big window back halves to measure by, but I am close right now just trimming once it is all in place.
I will probably be talking to you again about it before I start welding, but at least this much is done..... And I am loving the new look!
