smoothing the firewall and a new antenna location

Here are a few more pictures of progress being made on the cab..

The firewall has been cleaned up and a fresh new coat of bondo applied

If you look closely in the cab, you can see that the dashboard has been cleaned up (unused knob locations have been filled in as well as the opening for the stereo..
The original opening was way too large for a modern stereo and needed to be patched for a proper fit. Rather than making the gap smaller we decided to fill it in all together. We may relocate the stereo to the glove box, but if not we can always cut the opening to fit a stereo later.

This is a new opening for the antenna mast which will sit on the rear of the cab on the passenger side. It now has a recess for an automatic antenna assembly. It should look pretty slick once its all installed.
