Not sure how far down it comes but I don't think it shouldn't hurt the sealing of the window.

I'll get another pic when I get a chance to show how it looks welded.

Hey Kim, doing the same on mine and thinking about just laying a heavy bead of seam sealer all around and not welding. Wondering if the windshield rubber will help seal from the outside on top and the seam sealer will keep water out. Did you weld the entire top and side joints too?

Thanks, Jim

I welded it all the way around. I think the window rubber would keep water out but not sure how tight it fits against the vent.

Can you post a pic of it welded/ground? I'm still thinking I prefer the tow side seams in lieu of none. Thanks, Jim

Your truck is coming along nicely!

RockinKees · 10-09-2015, 05:46 PM

I try and do a little every day. Most of it is just sanding on the cab.
Waiting on more epoxy right now.

They're real bright. The pics don't show the difference between the running and brake light intensity very well.

Those light are "outa sight" they are begging for a sequential turn signal set up. Strong work! NC

I agree with the sequential turn signals.
Not sure how I can make it happen though.

This might help!

Looks great Kim, I thought sequential as soon as I saw the 3 lights too! You might try just getting ahold of an old cougar tail light harness, or the new mustangs all have sequential now too.

Just an update.
My back has been bothering me again.
Had an MRI and I have two herniated discs (L1/L2 and L3/L4).
Seeing the surgeon on Wednesday the 22nd to see what the best course of action is.
the L3/L4 is pretty bad and just above my fused discs at L4/L5.
Hope to get back on track if they can get it taken care of soon.
Kim

papastrk · 06-19-2016, 10:14 AM

Kim, those back problems can sure wreck a man's projects. I have dealt with mine for years. Had a L4/L5 disc replacement done in 2005. Fusing causes adjacent disc to be susceptible to rupturing. Hope they can get you through this without surgery. You have a great build going. Hang in there. Take care.
