I added some bracing to the front apron last night. Both top corners were cracked so I welded in a piece of metal to strenghten them, and did the same on both the front guards.
I also got the rusty bit removed and replaced on the left hand side panel under the headlight. I should have it finished tonight then move on to replacing the rear outer beaver panel....if it turns up on the truck today.

Both top corners of the apron and the guards had cracks. The metal is sooooooooo thin in that area ya just gotta be carefull not to grind on the edge......like I did on the left hand side.....oh well, it only wasted 1 hour of my life fixing it up again
Great job. Love following these resto threads. cant wait to see it in a coat of pain.
That makes 2 of us
What a weekend....... I finished welding in the bit behind the r/h back wheel. I just have to make the folded section that goes back under the 1/4...
Cut out the only bit of rust in the gutter and repaired it....
Finished off the front apron...
And cut and tacked the rear beaver panel into place...
