Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Got some shop time yesterday, went for a little between work and Korbin getting done with baseball practice and again for about a hour after the kids went to bed.

I fabricated the cab notch covers and got them all bent up and the corners welded after test fitting them a few times. I did not think to take process pictures, but these started out as a flat sheet of 20ga cold roll. I made a cardboard template that some how during the process ended up being about 10" to long??? that is better then too short..

Anyway I was able to finish them and get them tacked onto the floor. These look much better then my first ones and clear the frame rails much better. I will finish weld them once the cab comes back off to finish the firewall.


Tonight, Korbin plays out of town, but to early for me to get there after work. I will head out to the shop and set the core support and fenders back on for one more look before the cab comes off so that I can finish up the firewall and trans tunnel/floor. Then it is body work and paint on the cab.
