body work progress
|
Stopped by the body shop today to see the progress on the tub. They are almost done with the major
body work, and I was able to snap a few pictures of the results. Here are both floors that were replaced. |  |

 |
| Passenger floor board | |
 |
| I had them weld up some extra holes in the dash. | |
 |
| The dash support was pretty rotten underneath, but since it was never seen, I told them they could skip it. Instead, they went ahead and welded in a new piece of metal to better support it. | |

 |
| Both wheel wells had some metal that was bubbling up and rotten, so that was all replaced. Here is the passenger wheel well looking much better than before. | |
 |
| The rear quarter panels were the worst spot on the vehicle. The rear sill that supported them was also in bad shape. I orderd replacement panels and a new rear sill, and now they are looking much better. | |

| After getting the floors and rear sill replaced and the wheel wells patched up, they went ahead and shot some undercoating on the underside of the tub. | |

body shop
finally...after many, many months of just sitting in the garage with zero progress, the body has been dropped off at the body shop for some much-needed rust repair. assuming the body shop guys can get the work done in a timely manner, i hope to start the final re-assembly in the next couple of months.
