Found some
rust outs in the lower cowl. Pretty typical.

Got all the new metal in and was pretty happy with the
results.

Later when reassembling the truck I realized the contour on the repair panel was off
You can see the misalignment
here and
here Lesson I Learned....ALWAY FIT YOUR PANELS i.e. doors and fenders BEFORE YOU FINAL WELD
