Well, not really. As I've been grinding off those crap body lift blocks, I've been taking a good long look at the condition of the body. It's not looking good. Turns out, the whole floor has been replaced with sheetmetal. Not a good job at all. There are dents all over the outside from it being rolled. There's a lot of basically BAD fab work done on the entire tub. Because of all this, I'm going to just put the tub back on and be done. In a few years I'll drop some money to get an aluminum tub, but till then, the body that's on it now isn't worth saving.
Oh well, it'll look good when I'm under it, or when the hood's open.
