Frankenroof"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’ve been spending plenty of time working on getting the roof dent free and it’s getting there slowly. Very slowly. I decided I wasn’t happy with the roof chop, so just to give myself more work I cut the drivers side rear window quarter and door frame back off and put it all back on so that it lined up properly. This turned out to be a lot of hard work due to it being all over the place and it was so far out on the door frame I ended up using the slide hammer to pull it into line. I’ve been trying to teach myself panel beating as I work on the truck, so rather than hide it all with filler, I spent ages getting it smooth in metal. I’m pretty happy with where I got to with it, and have started to move along the roof join filling it in as I go.<\/p>\n

\"Re-Chop<\/p>\n

When I get bored with planishing the roof, I pick a random piece and do a repair to keep me from going crazy. I cut out a big dent in the cab back and patched that, and today I decided to do the door edge where it was rotten. It’s also pin holed along the bottom edge so I may cut the lot off and do the whole edge. The patch was an easy one to do, and the only problem I had was my auto darkening welding mask going flat so I had to use my old one and couldnt see to weld properly. I got it tacked in position anyway and the mask is on the window sill to get a charge when we get some sun.<\/p>\n
