Took a week of vacation to get some work done before it gets too hot.  I want to get all the orange shot so I can focus on reassembly, the interior, and all the miscellaneous mechanical/electrical repairs on my regular days off.

I did some cutting in the fender well as well as in the bed to allow the caved in area to be jacked out.  It's not perfect -
but it's much better than it was.

                                                                        Here's the cutout in the bed ^ ^ ^  I saved the cut out piece - I plan on riveting it back in (in theory)

Fairly straight now - good enough for who it's for.

Getting the other side going...
