Have a sore throat and can't talk, which means I couldn't go to work. Since I don't need to talk to work on the truck I got some more welding done. A few more patches and this corner is as done as possible until I pull the radiator support. It is a bit ugly and there is more grinding to do(and a few ugly welds to re-do) but it is nice and solid now.
Progress is chugging along. I'm going to do the same spot on the other side next, then I can pull the radiator support and start welding patches into that. I think I can salvage the inner fenders & rad support since they are mostly flat parts that need patches. The front panel is going to be a lot harder, but at $329 to replace it I'm going to at least try. The front fenders are really rough, I might try and locate some fenders with a good front half and splice together
a good set of fenders.
