Thanks! We didn't want to go overboard on metal mods, just make some improvements to clean up the lines. Might mean that some of them will go overlooked, but overall the effect will be noticeable even if you're not an F100 geek.
Got both cab corners cut off, blasted, primed, repaired, and welded back in. I could've bought repro cab corners but I wanted to cut these out higher up to make access to the back of the welds easier, plus all the body lines are already in the right place on the original panel so going back in everything lined up exactly.
I made a new lower section to weld in.
I used a steel block and a chisel shaped hammer to make the drains.
New panel welded in.
Found a spot with filler...
Minor damage underneath.
Straightened.
Welded back in.
The last detail on the cab corners- The inner panel flange stuck out past the outer panel, so I ground the edge of the inner down flush with the outer.
