It seems like it will never end. When I bought it I did not think I'd have to do as much body work as I have had to do and still have to do.

jimig1 · 11-29-2011, 11:26 PM

jimig1 · 11-29-2011, 11:29 PM

More cutting out the inner and outer cab corner. Thinking I'm going to eliminate the inner cab corner.
