This shows the drivers side hinge welded in and then primed after grinding. Passenger side were the lower bolt recess was replaced, with the hinge installed to check alignment, its right on. Saturday night I had a light bulb moment realizing that the cab corners would be open to the atmosphere unless I closed the opening at the inside corners. I remembered that before I took it off the road there was a lot of exhaust fume smell, now I realize with the mufflers dumping right behind the cab the exhaust was leaking up through the rusted out inner corners. I made a cardboard template, transfered it to metal and spot welded it in. I picked up some 3M body seam sealer at the body shop and will seal all the seams for a air tight fit. Sound insulation and carpet will finish it up. I'm also sealing all of the seams under the cab before I under coat it.
