Damn rain!!!!!

[JRANGER]

Well the only thing I got done before rain hit was cutting the actual cab corner replacement piece down....BUT i said screw the rain!! Taped up the electrical cord and cut away the cab corner and got it lined up to weld....Still needs a little adjustment aka bending going into the cab but thats about it

[77ChevySharkBite]

Nice Jeff!

[JRANGER]

Well the rain stopped and I went to it....I got dirty as crap but I got the corner installed, welded, and grinded down but no bondo as I dont want the rain to ruin it.

I also wire wheeled the crap out of the frame and it just needs to be washed and painted now..

My fuel sending unit showed up today too so im pretty excited about that as well

Now time to go get lunch

[JRANGER]

Yeah

[cubber]

You rocked it, man! I think that sending unit will do the trick!
