Yeah, I welded up some holes on my d-side door last night. Not a fun process by any stretch.
There is a welding shop here that lets me rummage thru their scrap dumpster for odds and ends and all they charge me is a couple dozen doughnuts from time to time. I think I am going to pop in there Tuesday on my way to work and see if they have an Iron Worker machine that punches holes and if I can get the plugs from it.

Thanks Coulter, I just ordered my patch parts today, hopefully they will be here in time for next weekend. I ordered both cab corners, floor pans, and complete rocker panels for each side.

i like the filler pieces you did on the grille panel, i thought of doing that myself!

Chad, I fabbed and put in the last of my grill mount modifications yesterday. It doesnt look like much right now, but when the paint goes on, you will see a huge change in the look of the face of the truck for it. I mounted it on the radiator core support and up onto the frame for you to see what I have done.
What I would not give for an anvil though!
You guys would laugh I think if you saw what I am using to fab my parts with!
#1 The spot I plan to fill.
#2 The part I made to fill it, roughed in.
#3 After tack welding in from both sides
#4 finished and mounted on the truck
#5 attempt at a perspective shot to show how flush it set.
