I'm blown away at the quality of all of the weird little sheetmetal parts you're having to make to piece it all back together.
Thanks Alex, its starting to go back together. The floor panels haven't been much of an issue to remake so far, but I'm not looking forward to making the side cowl box drains! Once we get the panel replacement finished we'll flip the cab and smooth out the welds on the bottom side. We want it to look just like the factory assembled it with no signs of panel replacement. I'll use the fake spot weld trick to help with that, although the factory spot welds are sloppy and will be harder to replicate.
