Got a little work done the cab today. I cut the rust out on the passenger side firewall, made some templets for the metal and cut the fillers and started welding them in. The welds look like crap but they are solid, I have been fighting with dirty thin metal and I dropped the tig torch and broke the ceramic tip, of course I didn't have any spares couldn't get enough gas to the weld. Finally, after fighting with it for a couple hours, I gave up. Here are the pics:
