Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Thanks, Mike. I think I did damage it a little when I removed the brace. I had a friend of mine that is good with body work take a look at it, and he agrees with you that I should just leave it alone. When I compare the right and left sides I see a small difference in the shape of the upper part of the pillar, but I don't think I need to worry about it. The door hinges will still be in the right place, which is what matters the most. Right?

Thanks, Matt. I finally feel like I am making some progress with the cab. It has seemed so far away in the past. Hopefully when I get to the point where I test fit the doors, it won't be a disaster.

Okay, so I will line up the door side, then work the metal to match on the front of the pillar. Should be able to manage that. Thanks. I will give it a shot this weekend.
