Venting re cab corners

OK, I've had it! I think I need to roll this piece of @#$)(@#) cab into the street on trash day. I can't EVEN figure out how to make this cab corner fit right, and then I have to read ebfabman's post where he has evidently made a deal with the devil for his "mad skillz" at welding (either that, or he's had a lot of practice ).

I'm so pissed. My shirt is solid sweat all the way down to my belly button, and I'm still no closer than when I started. I've got the sheetmetal cut away to within about 3/8" of what looks like where the new corner would go, but when I fit it over the door jamb lip, it the other end (the innermost piece) wants to line up about 2" below the bottom of the cab. When I line that bottom back piece up, the top part that lips over the door jamb is crammed into the door. It's like the cab corner is racked or something. But it looks just like a mirror of the other replacement corner. I am so pissed!!!!! (Can you tell how hard I'm banging on the keyboard right now? #$!^)#$^)(@$#).

Anyway, I give up. I'm going to have to go find a body shop and deal with the International Brotherhood of Overpriced Bodyworkers we have up here in New England. If anybody has a referral in the Boston/Providence area, please shoot me an email. I've got to get this thing done... it's killing me!

{rant off. for now}
