My lower patch panel was bowed way out, yours looks good! what patch panel do you go with?

sure did...not a change from the rusted bondo filled junk i cut out of it...
actually bought these when i was on vacation from a place in huber heights (dayton) ohio called restoration world...www.resto-world.com...

just laying them on the old fender they fit like a glove

Nice start! If you don't mind, what are the dimensions of the fuel cell? It looks like it fits real well.

todays progress...have some finish grinding left and have to weld a brace because i eliminated the inner cab corner...other than that the floor will need to be filled (going to do that later when the cab is lifted off the frame)..

could be better..i expected worse..so i am happy
