There has been a lot of progress since the last update.

There was a very nasty ding in the roof that took some considerable time to hammer and dolly out:

 

The Drivers side kick-pad is done. I fabbed the panel from scratch:


The top bead is the reason that I am building a wheel to replace the crank on the beadroller. Since this is gonna be a driver and no one will see this, I decided that the panel was "good enough!".

The drivers cab corner is ready for final weld and finish:

The passenger corner is in:

The passenger kick panel is under construction. Lots of fabbing and custom work needed here:

 

The pillar was also creased parrallel with the doorjamb. 

This came out fairly easily once I was able to drill some holes and slide hammer out the dent:

 

The louvers will take a bit more straightening, but that is all finish work for now.

 

 

The firewall is next:

 

 Clint has cut out the opening and fabbed a plate:

 I'll add some beads to it and we'll get the Masked Welder to weld it in.
