Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Still doing small things..
This has been bothering me for some time..
When I made the cab corner ,there was about a 1/16" gap between it and the rocker..
I was gonna just live with it, but after looking at the drivers side I realized the two were spot welded together
I couldnt squeeze them together without putting alot of stress on the metal..
So I cut some slits in the corner ,and drilled some hole for spot welds.
Got it welded up..gonna brush some epoxy on it ..do a ittle filler work, then I'll spray epoxy on it..
Got the rear bumper ready to go to the blasters, so I'll try and spray it all at once.
I've found a couple of spots on the rockers and the back of the cab that got missed when I sprayed epoxy the last time that need coated again.. hopefully the cab will be ready to paint in a week or so
