Hope everyone had a great 4th! I was able to get quite a bit done over the four-day weekend.

-Peeled back the ends of the cowls so I could pull out all the leaves and debris, weld shut the vent, and spray rust encapsulator.
-Cut a hole in the dash for the center A/C louver and committed a sin and modified the dash for a double din radio. Nevermind the ugly welds, I tend to leave my joints a little low.
-Copied 1971Stepside and fabbed up a bracket to mount my gas pedal. I cut off all the bulky pedal assembly (adjustable pedal) and I will fab up a rod and use a custom trim pedal.
-Fabbed up a new bracket for my hydroboost so it can mount to the brake pedal assembly studs.
-I was scraping all the seam sealer out of the interior and was digging at the firewall to floor pan joint and they just came apart. Seems whoever was working the line that day didn't do a good job of welding the two together so I fixed that.
-I was able to get one door reskinned as well. I'm pretty happy with the repro door skin, it took minimal modifications for a good fit. The key here was to not remove the door bottom so that the new skin could be applied to the factory shell and achieve the right profile. Don't mind the mangled rocker-I did a quick and dirty removal so I could verify the rust repair panels so I could place an order.
-And I've got a pile of parts going to the sandblaster today.
