Re: 55 make over

days 2,3; we got through the filler on the driver door, back of the cab and down the passenger side...ugly! needless to say, time vs labor we gonna have to order new doors and redo the cab corners. i have no idea what they had going on with the back of this cab, but they beat the loving $hit out of it and filled it in (sorry the nicest way i can say it). the doors consist of a wave in the paneling and a crease along the lower side, along where the handles were the body line was cut out and built up with filler. then the edge that meets the fender has some kind of work done to it covered under 1/4" filler... but the door ran an average of 1/8" to 1/4" of filler and the back of the cab ran the same thickness. we're not even going to waste time on passenger door, we can tell by the edges that it to is caked. the gas cab filler plate was far from being welded in flush and the cab corners were overlapped onto the body. (i'm not against folks using fillers BUT i believe at staying not more than a 1/16")
