Spent all day Sunday in the shop working getting the roof and other areas ready for some primer. Kept on finding areas that needed attention so the usual routine, sand, hammer and dolly, then fill, then sand again. Hopefully by the end of the day on Monday I will be ready for primer or have some of it in primer. Then sand, sand, sand again.

Removed the front bumper and push guard so I can address the core support paint and the lower cups on the fenders. Have the seam sealer ready to go down on body seams and around the newly installed roof skin.

I only found one area that will need some attention with rust repair on this truck. The passenger front cab support had a small rust spot about the size of a quarter right next to the debris exit hole. I will cut out the area, treat the inside and patch with new metal and 3m under coating. The other supports are all in good shape and the cab mount bushings are brand new.

Last thing on cab body will be to finish stripping the drivers door I removed a while back. Exterior side has been completely stripped of al paint and some of the interior side paint still needs to be finished. Speaker hole has been completely fixed and mirror holes welded shut.
