Progress update. Since picking up my stuff from Eagle Stripping, I've been working on several fronts. I seem to do best when I work on something until I wear out, then attack something else for a while. Rotating between tasks seems to help me avoid vapor locking when something doesn't work out. Anyway, before sending the cab and other parts out for blasting, I had trial fit the inside roof panel and the outer skin as well as some smaller patches in the drip rail above the door frame. I went ahead and spot welded the patches and the panel in place then butt welded and ground the seams. There are a number of small pinholes in the windshield frame and in and around the drip rail. Structurally, these areas are pretty sturdy, so rather than waste a bunch of time trying to MIG the holes and grind the area smooth, I plan to lay fiberglass in the affected areas, then cover it all with acoustic deadener before installing the outer roof skin. Suitable fix for a rat truck!
