Monday's progress. We finished welding the bed floor and header panel flange back in, and started grinding the welds.
Header bottom flange ready for welding.
Before welding the header flange on, we slipped a sheet of .060" aluminum between the bed floor and header panel to keep an even gap all the way across. This kept the weld from blowing through on the back side of the header flange, and will allow enough room for seam sealer later on.

Tailgate bodyworked and shot with Slick Sand. I masked off the center section to preserve the spot welds, and also the details of the letters. Slick Sand is too thick for those areas. We'll mask off the letters themselves and shoot normal high build on that area.
