		After more and more welds I was finally able to get to the point where I can apply some body filler. Followed by some block sanding, another layer of filler and more block sanding. From there moved on to two rounds of glazing putty.
		Here it is primed. As it turned out, I am pleased but for some reason, I know that there is a better way of doing this. If it were not for the curvature in the metal along with the location of the top bend and the seam on the bottom, I would of cut it all out and worked in some new metal. But in this case, I couldn't and certainly wouldn't of considered leaving the wholes there and filling it all in with filler.
		Another shot from a different angle.
		The cab is slowly moving along. From here I lift the cab off of it's stand and set it back down on the toeboards. This way I can get to the cab corners. "Driver's side floorboard/toeboard still on backorder with Brother's. Three weeks on backorder and still no word."
		Existing right side cab corner.
		Rust, Rust and more rust. Typical for these old trucks.
		Inside that same corner. Not only will the outside of this cab corner need metal work but the inside as well... Good thing I ordered both patch panels for this side..
