Re: Wife's 48

Well I think the welding and fitting are improving, they are just NOT where I want them. Man I wish there was someone who could teach me. It is really slow learning like this. Anyway, I got the cab corner done. I can't find any more pinholes, so I'm hopeful it is finished.

Yes the weld line is sunken in a little. I've been told that happens when you heat up the weld area. It appears most of it may finish out with a skim coat. Some of the other patches will need a little filler to smooth them out. I may try a shrinking disc to see what it does with those weld lines.

My buddy was over and while I was busy elsewhere in the shop he decided that the rusty floor board needed to come out. When I got to him, between him and the rust so much of the drivers floor pan was gone I had to step in and help finish the job without doing any more damage. He's the proverbial "bull"! I have most of it out and will be fitting it back soon. I'll put up pictures then.
