Got most of the welding done on the cancer parts of the cab this week by cutting out the old and putting in new metal. I also welded in the new bottom door seal retainers. I drilled 1/8th inch holes through the old retainers before I ground them off as they had been spot welded on. I used the holes to weld thru from behind and plug welded the new retainers on.
I have a bit more sandblasting to do on the inside of the cab and then it will be all down to bright metal. I ordered body filler and two kinds of primer today and that was a pricey bunch of items.
I also got some Dura Sanding blocks for all the hand sanding to come.
I made a roll-a-round cart out of an old BBQ stand I was going to junk, to hold all the sanding equipment. That way I can roll it to the work sight and it's all in one place.
The rain continues, so the Blasting has to wait.
I want to coat the bottom of the cab before I flip it back over. Haven't decided yet, but think seam sealer first, then primer, then maybe POR-15.
