Today, Monday March 1st was supposed to be my day off, however I was booked into a confined space course which ended about noon. I did get to the shop about 3 and was able to get a couple hours in. I am getting near to being done the cab, but it was a rinse and repeat of the previous day's. Hunting out cracks and welding them up. I also took the opportunity to re-weld the transmission tunnel from the underside. Going back to an earlier comment regarding the improvement of my welding skills...when I welded on the tunnel I did not get through penetration and could see the 2 pieces from the back side of the weld. I think it was from not having enough of a gap between the two pieces and the weld didn't flow into the void and instead built up on the surface. Anyways, I zapped it from the underside and then ground it smooth.
I will be attacking the roof next and then I will be back in the sand blaster. After that, I will give the whole thing a good blow out, run over all surfaces with the orbital sander and then coat it in epoxy! That will be a big milestone reached.
Stay safe, Steve
