SHOP TRUCK: Making a little progress on the 40 pickup



 So we had to replace the rocker panels in the cab due to rust and bad repairs.


 Once the rockers were removed we were able to start cutting out the rusty panels and fabricating some new pieces.



 I started cutting while Susi made all the patch pieces.

 This is the bottom corner of the B pillar Susi cut out and I welded together.

 Here Susi is fitting her patch panel so I can weld it in place.
 This is the finished repair of that B pillar
 Now she's fitting the front patch.
 Finished repair

 This is the new rocker tacked in place, ready to weld tomorrow
 Just a little trim to get the fit just right

 Here is the other rocker tacked in  and ready for final weld
Pretty good job for the day today. Hopefully we can finish the rockers and sort out the fender gaps tomorrow and back on the roadster and delivery on Monday
