The time has come to pour the rest of the concrete on the shop. The problem now is I need to move the shed I have been working out of for the past 12 years. All that means I have to empty it out and take stock of all the parts I have amassed for the 59'.

Other than the Cab and what chassis I have assembled the rest of the Truck is in the shed. I have a couple of Friends that are willing to lend a hand so getting the shed emptied is not that big of a issue. I do want to take inventory and separate the parts out as much as possible, that may take some time.

I have been putting off the next phase of the build, the patch panels on the Cab. It's not that I afraid it's just making that first cut and not looking back. I have some time off coming up and really want to start with filling the holes on the firewall. My welding skills have improved but I'm still not comfortable with starting on a large panel.

I have followed other members builds and seen the route the have taken to replace the toe boards and floor panels. The are some very skilled people on the "Bolt". I think the firewall is a good starting point for me.
