Thanks, been a long road, I blasted it, then 14 patch panels later, primed!!

Cab looks great. Judging by how the PO cut the hole for the master cylinder makes me wonder if he didn't own my truck before I got it. His cutting style looks familiar, LOL.

At least now the patch panels are decent, years ago I had to make replacement parts, much more labor intensive
Your project is looking great.
