Re: Project 69SWB

A hard learned piece of advice: If you have to cut the rear cab floor corner:

A. Get the patch panels before you cut, and decide if just the side panel will get it done, or if you need the rear panel too ( I'm going off what LMC sells, which is what I used, but I think most are similar)

B. Make sure to check and see how those two patch panels mate as far the alignment of the jack "dimple". Mine weren't quite straight and i had to do some work to get that dimple to be "close enough"

C. If you have to use both panels, cut & spot the rear (when i say rear i mean the piece that would be parrallel with the back cab wall) on first! it's a challenge to do the side first, and then cut the rear to fit.

glad to see your makin headway! I just got the passenger side of mine back together last weekend minus the cab corner, and was decently happy with how it's turned out, now waitin on a cab corner to get here so i can out that on ( I measured once... not twice. made an oops. )
