I'm getting there! The owner picked the cab up last week, so I'll try and get the thread caught up in the next week or so.

Having the bodywork already done is a major bonus!



Here's pics of the hood. The inner brace was bent and broken, there was large dents and creases, and a small spot of rust in the nose.

Fixing the rust.













Busted inner brace.




Large creases and low spots on the front of the hood top.




Crease at the rear edge.




Good size dent and crease on the side of the hood.
