When you are working on a project cab, they often look worse then one day, look amazing.  Keep up with the hard work, and you'll experience this too.  Painting and final touches really bring it in at the end.

If you want two sides to match up better with the bondo portion, the other side of the cab is in perfect shape.  Trace it onto a blank sheet of wood, cut it out with a jig saw so you have a template.  Then clamp it to the other side and sand the bondo portion down to match.  Good job with the bondo so far; that stuff dries really quick and is quite messy!

I'd be cautious about installing a monitor you know ahead of time, is too small.  Might be in your best interest to see if you can't scavenger a bigger one of ebay or craig's list, or go the TV route.  In my opinion, nothing looks more silly then this big old cab with a tiny porthole monitor in it.

Looking good btw.

You should be able to find a 19" pc monitor for cheap or free somewhere in Houston. Don'r settle for a small screen.

Post an ad on freecycle for a 19" pc monitor. Go to the local Goodwills. Call up the local pc repair places.
