I didn't do the jamb transplant. I worked some more on the original and got it very close. I am happy with it. Then I started fitting the patch panel that is to go above the cab corner. I spent most of the day getting it from this

to welded in and ready for the cab corner.

I did learn somethings today. Panels really will warp if you go to fast. Yep, lesson learned. I was doing really well and I had a couple of runs that the gap was a little too wide, even after hours of fitting. So I decided "I can weld that". Well I can, but to do so put a lot of heat into the skin and it has a "woop de woop". I tried to bump it out and it seems a little better, but I broke some welds because I also learned that it doesn't take much to grind off too much metal. So I had to hunt down pinholes for a couple of hours. Weld and then grind. All day. I just put some weld through primer on it so I can sand it a little and see what it looks like when - you guessed it, I found 2 more pinholes. I shut everything off and came in. I'll do those two pinholes and some sanding next time I get some shop time.
