June 2021

Back to working on the cab. The right side cowl panel weld needed to be pulled out a bit, so used a pin welder and got that close to the right spot. Also pulled out a couple dents above the rear window using the pin welder. Got that profile pretty well cleaned up. Found a rattle can paint color that matched the rear grille bars and brackets - Rustoleum Canvas White a darn close match. Shot primer on the hood, grille pieces, window frames, etc. After a couple issues with the resin setting up too quick got the rear axle pivots recast.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
