This afternoon I finished dressing the welds on the cargo floor.

Now starting to dress the welds on the passenger side dog leg and then the cab floor.

Finished off the pass side repairs up front. Found one more on the inner dogleg. 

Driver side needed a small section of seal channel. 

Drivers rear mudflap needed some wreck damage worked out and welded. 

Found a small rusty spot to address as well. 

We will build it if it comes.

Started with a few pins before fitting the new section.

Usually I work a nose section from the center out to each side, this one was not happy that way.

Ended up going from left to right to get the best fit.

Had to make a relief cut to remove a pucker that would not go away.

That one was a PITA! Fit and fully tacked. 

We will build it if it comes.

Started early this morning. Just finished burning in the majority of the nose section. Few little things to finish it off. 

We will build it if it comes.

After finishing up the nose section welding details I moved on to the batt tray area.

Fit and burned in the tray. 

Mudflap went in next.

Knocked out primary fab on a closing panel section for the wheel well before calling it a day. 

We will build it if it comes.
