Just strippin!

Well, seed is delivered.  Still have some stock on hand, but it't tarped and has plywood over and around so it doesn't catch any sparks.  Managed to get the entire cab nearly stripped.  Just have the top of the roof and the firewall, and of course, all those areas in the creavices.  Started doing a little dent removal from the back and corners.  Prepping to weld in my patch panel areas.  Contemplating cutting out another area that is very badly dented.  I'm still not sure on that one.  Gonna try the studs and pullers.

Having a hard time with my welder.  I welded up some holes where the PO had mounted more than 1 mirror over time.  Just kept making boogers.  No good welds.  Gas was on and flowing.  Metal was clean.  Not sure what is going on there.  Going to take the nozzle shield and nozzle out and make sure everything is nice and clean/replaced.  This is not the place to make bad welds.  Bad welds require extra grinding, grinding generates heat, heat warps panels, makes waves, makes more work.

I did pick up a shrinking disc that I am going to try on my extra cab.  Supposed to run on an angle grinder and generate heat without taking metal out or the potential to burn a hole and then quickly cool and tighten the metal back.  We shall see.....

Still haven't sandblasted the frame.  Kinda just waiting to get a good dry day because blast in the am, paint in the pm.  After blasting, it can't wait,  gotta paint right away.  And I still have seed in the shop and now a cab and front fenders in the other bay.  It would all fit, but I also want to work on cleaning some more in the shop.  Organize it some.

Well, time to head out.  Have to get to softball practice.
