Hello all, thanks again for checking in and following along.

Today was busy, I negotiated with wifey to split my time today. We have started to repaint the master bedroom and bath. I had to get my chores done at home before I could go and play...
It wasn’t until about 2 PM that I could get to the shop. The grand plan for the day was to get some holes in the roof welded up, which I think actually completes the repairs on the cab! I got them done, then spent some time straightening the drip rails over the doors. Once those were looking good, I moved the cab over to the sand blaster area so I could reblast the underside. I wanted to be sure the metal was clean whether it be welding slag or any oxidization from sitting in bare metal. I am going to epoxy the underside and then get it back upright so I can finish the rest of the cab. I am not worried about the underside getting scratched as I will be using the truck box liner stuff on the inner fenders and underside of the box and cab.
Anyways, back to the story... I got the blasting done and all the dust/debris blown out. I ran out of time and energy, to get the epoxy sprayed though.
The good news is though, I have already secured permission from the boss to get it sprayed tomorrow!

Just a short one today, I will post again tomorrow when I get the underside sprayed.
Stay safe,
Steve
