Thanks! I welded in driver front cab mount. Started on passenger front lower door post repair. For some reason I thought this side would be less work, but now that it is opened up its going to be more. Sick of rust time for a break!

Looks great, Just think soon the rust will be all gone, and you'll never have to worry about it again!
Keep it up.

The passenger pan is in ok shape but for some reason I feel like I should replace the hole thing? All that clean metal from a new pan is enticing. Any thoughts?
