Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Both cab corners are fitted. They both needed tweaking as the curve didn't match, and the beading at the bottom didn't match. Good think I have hammers.

The passenger cab corner was actually very solid. But I cut as little of it as I figured I could get away with, just to make sure that ALL the rust in the nooks and crannies are gone. I want to do my best to make this repair last as long as possible.

Sprayed epoxy over the rockers, and in and on the cab corners in preparation for welding whenever I get to them.

Oh, also filled the hole in the cowl.
