And some grinding, filing, cursing and I got most of the welds removed and the pattern of the plate reestablished

Default Lots of work but worth it.....

.....my cab 11 had the main side to side plate butchered with a torch BUT had a spare floor....... actually used a almost new pass side front panel to cut a piec to match......did a lot of grinding to fit the dot and dash pattern....welded mostly from the back..... used J-B Weld and a Dremel hobby grinder to literally sculp the top side...... once painted looks perfect. Even sourced some NOS machined screws for the panels.

I have ordered some more grinder bits and must try the dremel as well. But yes very rewarding
