half cab off
with the half cab removed and floor boards up will go around the top where the half cab was and clean up with the rotoray sander

i have removed the floor and had a good look at the area looks ok but i think i will add a few more bits off wood and replace some of the crappy looking stuff and then glass it in
looking into font with floor up
