		Here is the existing condition on the inner cab corner. With this side not being to bad off, I did not order an inner cab corner patch. Instead would fabricate a new piece my self.
		Here is a shot of the rusted areas cut away.
		With the new patch trimmed down to size, it was laid in place for a test fit.
		Once located and the trim lines wiped off, new lines were marked for the cut that would go through the new and the old.
		it is somewhat hard to see, but this is after the cut through was made of both pieces. The black is the e-coating on scrap from the patch and on its edge is the through cut.
		Here is the area after cleaning up the metal some and taking a look at the condition of the existing metal inside those hidden areas. "Really not to bad." Still, after cleaning up the rust that I could get to, a rust converter was sprayed inside the enclosed areas and then primed.
		Here is the new inner cab corner patch panel after welding in place. Of course, all the joining areas were well cleaned and then treated with weld-thru primer.
