Default Thanks Ken......

... for the input. I have minimal concerns with reskinning the bottom rear part of the cab.... but the top appears more difficult.

The bottom part of the back of the cab fits to an angle iron and you have some substance to work with... it is the top part of that skin where it meets the roof just before the curving sheet of the roof.

WE may have to invest in a spot welder..... but the arms would need to be at least 18 inches...... filling up holes with the mig to simulate spot welds maybe the best alternative.

I sure would like to hear for others who have done this part of the roof/cab. I have considered farming out the sheet metal work to a body shop..... but hey are expensive and may not fully appreciate what I need done or the quality of the product that is required when you consider that both side of the sheet metal is visible and gobs of bondo is not what we are looking for.
