I found something strange today. On the back of the cab, near the corner, I noticed a crack in Bondo. I figured that it was pretty rusted. Well, I was wrong. I ground away literally a half an inch of Bondo to find perfectly good metal underneath. I don't understand why the PO didn't just bend the panel back out instead of putting that much Bondo in there.

I did, however, find out that I'm going TDY in a week, so I'll be away from it for a couple months, so it's going to sit idle for a while. I'm not really looking forward to not working on it, but when Uncle Sam tells you to go someplace, you go. Good news is that it's only Illinois and not overseas, so I can't complain too much.
