I just wish I had taken some photos of it for this thread! It was some work to separate the outer skin, but well worth it!
My Saturday was productive, just not with vehicles...I had to change out my pool pump! Here is a pic of the new pump working hard.
Oh yea, last photo for today....windshield installed! My buddy Brian that works for Safelite came by and reinstalled the window for me. Nothing like having a PRO save you time.
Tomorrow I need to finish re-seaming and then paint. The Eastwood "Brushable" sealer is far from brushable in FL heat...
I dropped the truck off to have it welded today. I decided to leave this job to a pro.
I should have it back Thursday 6/9.
I plan to do a complete repaint inside and out this weekend. While I am at it I want to repaint the outside of my M1010 and my new M1031. It should be a productive weekend...
Check your drip rails! I used a small screwdriver to poke around and found a few more holes I need to fix. I'm thinking either some metal filler, epoxy, or body solder. I haven't decided which route I want to go.
I sprayed some Eastwood "Internal Frame Coating" into the holes and larger opening...
Good advice, I may do the same.

So I decided to fix a little rust problem on one of my M1009s.
Ugh! Any advice for this repair?
Anyone have a donor front roof corner?
The bondo is not my handiwork. I found it like this once I started sanding.
