4-17-09: Next I pulled my template back out for the passenger side plate so I could figure out where to locate the access holes. And this is where I made the big screw up today. When I positioned the lower access hole I completely forgot about the passenger side front cab mount bracket. I didn't realize I did this until I had already marked out the panel and cut the holes out. I had the plate back in place on the cab and was working on a template for the diamond plate cover. That's when I figured out my screw up. I tried the cab mount bracket and you guessed it sits right on the lower corner of the access hole. So now I'm going to have to cut a piece of 10 gauge steel and weld it back into position. This is the point I got mad at myself and decided it was time to quit for the day before I screwed up something else!
