    Got a 16 year old who bought her own first truck, and is actually spending her time fixing it up, rather than jacking around on her iPhone. I’ve got her covered mechanically, but need some help repairing a couple of rusted out spots above the windshield. I spoke to body guy who suggested grinding out the cancer, treating metal, and filling the void with panel bond. Before I do that and vinyl wrap the roof, I’m trying to see what it would cost to have a couple of patches welded in. What do y’all think?

    Any sheet metal welders out there interested in side work, let me know. I'd love to give you a look and see what we can come up with as a solution to get this kid rollin'!

    You’re the man. I’ll holler at you tomorrow and set up some time to swing out there. Kinda want to pull the windshield so may be swinging out in a full-face helmet. Haha. Thanks bro.
