And finally, the rot is out. Time for some fresh metal fitting.
I like to creep up on fitment, so I cut the pieces slightly oversize and use a flap wheel to get it really close. I tack when the gaps are looking pretty good. It seems there are always some tight gap spots, and I open them up with the cut off wheel, either the 4" or the Dremel.
Now we'll see if my daughter wants to do some tacks this weekend. There's definitely no shortage of opportunities.

Mad props for keeping the young-guns inluded. I sure wish I did more w/my step daughter.

Rust repair on the cab is a time-consuming process, I didn't particularly enjoy it. But it's satisfying when you're done to know that your cab is rust free and solid.

And great that your daughter wants to get involved. How many girls her age learn to weld? Or even boys her age?
