Thanks for the welding tips gmachinz. I try to follow that advise, but sometimes easier to say than do I guess. I don't do too badly when I'm welding right in front of my face. Speaking of which, I been making slow progress the last couple weekends. Got the passenger side cab corner in and started on the firewall. Good bit of rust around where the ac/heater stuff and hoses go through the firewall, and even more when I started cutting away some of the metal. Felt like good progress this weekend though. I'll clean the welds up a bit more, but wound up ordering the wrong abrasives for my die-grinder
