Micky Mouse
Mice had built a nest in the insulation between the cab roof and the inner headliner. The mouse piss and moisture did quite a number on the metal in that specific area. I had considered cutting out a section of the cab roof and trying to match up and weld in a new piece of rounded sheet metal, but decided I’m not talented enough to do that without making a mess. The best option for me was to repair the area with fibreglass after a light sandblasting of the inner surface. It was a quick and easy repair, and turned out pretty good.

The mounting plates under front fenders were a bit rough, and had to be removed to repair the rusty fenders. I made some new pieces to freshen things in that area up. Its totally a poor design from the point of view of creating a rust trap. There is no wonder all of these trucks rust out in that particular area.

headliner
This truck was one of the earlier ones that have the metal headliner/cab ceiling. The above mentioned mice made a mess on one side of the headliner and a huge dent messed up the other side. I made two new sides and the rest cleaned up quite nicely.
