Here is what I started with.





And I cut away a rotten area inside the cab. I was alittle worried that this might cause the piece down close to the windshield would get really wiggley while I was working. Access to the inside was nice though





First off I dusted alittle paint over the spot welds and when dry, I scuffed it off with some 80 grit. Makes the spot welds show up better. Hit then all with an 1/8 bit and then followed up alittle bigger.





I thought the welds along the windshield edge would be the tough ones. I was wrong, broke most of them loose with a putty knife.








Comparing new to old:





First hurdle I ran into was just getting the panel in there. I had to open up the roof edge on the corners so I could roll the new panel in.





I also cut the panel in half to ease the work load and take the worry away of both corner being where they needed to be.








Worked out GREAT! About two days of fitting and 15 minutes of welding. Outer panel is all installed and I couldn't be happier with it. Huge thanks to MP&C



Looks like it worked well for him, another Stovebolt on it's way back....
