This much of the passenger rear corner is done. Now to trim the cab corner to fit. Gonna go with the patch panels I think rather than try to patch and save the old Henry panels. This also gives me a Plan B if I screw up a patch panel. Stu

 

Here's Reamer's right side corner ready to go. It fits real nice with minimal encouragement. I'm gonna try to get copper behind the seam so my ham fisted welding doesn't blow holes. A clear head will be the first requirement. Stu

 

Looking good Stu! Those are some fancy looking clips to hold the metal flush.

Yay, Go Stu!!

 

Hi Stu,
I just read through this thread. I love the intense "attention to detail" you possess. Always have. I am also glad to see you post pictures of your "ham fisted" welding! To me, that just shows' you are still a good guy. honest and humble. Still a Marmon Herrington "Wikipedia" but yet not afraid to show some less than perfect skills. Still looks good to me! It's not necessarily the destination that is the importance. It is also the journey of getting there!
I love watching your progress. Nice work!
Thanks for contributing your knowledge and experience.

 

Thanks Jeff. Good to hear from you, and thanks for the encouragement. Somewhere up above one of the guys wrote something about doing what you can for yourself, but to know your limitations. There's reasons guys make a nice living wrenching, hammering metal, welding, and painting for others. This truck will be a mix of pro and amateur work like most. As long as my grinders don't die on me I'll get the metal work done. I'm pretty sure smoothing it out and paint will be done by professionals. Stu
