Hey Everybody,

A quick update for the start of fall. Attached Pic shows driver side cab corner in place, primed and painted. I replaced the bottom of the lock pillar, inner cab corner and outer cab corner. I had some fitment trouble with the outer piece, but ultimately made it work. The inner piece fit perfectly on the first try. Door gaps remain close, but without any contact points on the door. The door opens as it should and closes with authority. I'm looking forward to adding the windlace and the rubber bumper to see how it does. Now, I'm moving on to the passenger side to do the exact same repairs there. Slowly but surely chipping away at the work that needs to be done! FWIW, there are a couple of imperfections in the body filler. I stink at that work! Seems like I add too much, sand it all off and still have an imperfection. Currently, the body filler thickness is 1/16" or less. It's just there to help hide the weld seam.
