Well today I spent time cutting and fitting the floor patch for the passenger side. Turned out pretty good for someone who is not that skilled in metal repair....Tomorrow I will cut out the rocker box and get the replacement fitted. I don't want to put it on until I get the front patches cut and installed. I know, brace the roof....got that covered..... Will also start repairing the floor and bedside for the passenger side....One side at a time....

Not too much today, cold is getting me down.....
Did get the rocker box out, cut out the cab corner rust. Pulled out the bedside and guess what, someone else already made a repair in that area.....Why in the world would you leave bare metal untreated? Some folks are special......Shakin my head..... Smitty |

Got the cab mount in. Fitted the floor more and as soon as LMC can get this patch here for the A pillar, the passenger floor will be done. Saved $50 repairing the rocker box cover today. Cleaned up all the rust off it and there was a lot of metal left on it, POR-15 will make it right....Rocker box should be in next.....

Re: Project Sloppy Jo.....
It's a good thing you found that bare metal now...it would have caused some concerns down the road.

Got the replacement rocker box welded in today along with adding $150 back into the funds after repairing the side panel for the rocker box. Everything lined up nice on the rear panels for the rocker box. UPS showed up early so I got the front A pillar patch welded in also. Tomorrow, POR 15 the rocker box and get the floor ready for installation.

Got the rear quarter hung along with the new door. Got to tweek the quarter a little and finish grinding the welds on the inner panel. Air compressor had enough so now I got to fix that also. All coming along smooth.....

Re: Project Sloppy Jo.....
B pillar is no fun. Take a LOT of pictures as they will help many other people down the road...
