Since I'd installed a frame mounted fuel tank I needed to do away with the hole left in the side of the cab when the seat tank & filler cap was removed. I cut a patch panel & brazed it in place. Roughed are up good with abrasion disc & smoothed area over with body filler. Primed area with hi build primer to fill any small pin holes or sanding marks.
Much as I hate to say it, I realized that I needed to eat a slice of humble pie at this point. I noticed had a couple of small bubbles developing in the areas where I had brazed in some patch panels . Just a couple small spots, nothing major. I quickly realized I had not completely cleaned the flux from the brazing rod prior to prepping for paint and/or body filler. Just a dumb mistake caused by not being diligent.
I ground down the problem area's , making sure all old flux was cleaned off, prepped area's for re-painting , taped off the glass & the newly painted white roof & shot the cab for the second time. Just to be clear, it had been just over a year since I shot it the first time.
