Good luck! It’s good to know it doesn’t need to be pretty!

Couple more photos of some of the work I could not fit into the main post.

New 4x4 labs bumper to match the bumper on my 60 project that I have not worked on in a while. Figured I’d quick weld this up, quick project. Welp I knew the quarter panels were bad, but these were really bad, I should have taken a photo of the before. I did my best to keep the to oem shape...

I won’t do another update for a few weeks, as it’s all the same stuff here. Probally do something when I get the frame finished up and body mounted. House work is calling so it may not be for a few months. I was pretty proud of myself for the A pillar here and well…. Probally only this group...
