With the kick panel hammered into shape, I had another productive day. Got the rocker and floor panel and the front cab mount welded in. Had to back up a little as I had repaired the floor at the left rear door pillar and tacked it in place about 1/4 inch too low. Cut out those welds and persuaded the floor to the correct position, then proceeded to get the floor and rocker in position for welding. Still need to finish the welds on the floor, but it's not going anywhere at the moment. I had left the old reinforcement at the tranny opening and once I got the floor tacked in place, took that out and welded in the new reinforcement. Got in the 70's today so knocked off early as I was getting sweaty. Still got in 5-1/2 hours though.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
