made some progress on the left cab corner

Hi,

Finally finished school so I can really get something done on my truck.
I finished the right cab corner some time ago and finished a big part of the floor (pictures in my gallery) and last week I started on the left cab corner. It's more work than I thought because they used a lot of lead so I haven't got any solid metal to weld on so a big part needs to be replaced. In my gallery there a some pics of the progress I made it's not finsihed yet because in all my exitment a piece of metal burned in my eye so I couldn't get anything done today.

Angry

"a piece of metal burned in your eye" What are you talking about?

Be careful!! You've only got 2 you know!! And you can lose them. It can happen to you!! Get it?
You're not wearing eye protection? Make it a 100% condition any time your grinding welding or whatever.

Anything can happen and it will if you give it enough time.

It happened with grinding. I do wear eye protection but I already bought new glasses that are completely and fit perfectly to my face

You're series of photos regarding the cab corner patch panel repair are really good.
