And out come the floors. And the sills. And the rust and fiberglass.

Not for the faint of heart but the concept is to build a pig that will last for at least the next 42 years. Where the metal is weakened by rust, it is being cut out and replaced with new 18 gauge steel. Everything will then get a healthy coat of POR15.

Needless to say, none of this would be possible to do in the time frame we are doing it or affordable without BobM's floor panels, sills, mounts, and supports!

Working on it!! Weather has been volatile to say the least but should have next set of ohotos soon.

So after radio silence for 9 months, it's time for an update.

Remember that comment about having very little rust? Let's just say that I bought the full BobM package and had some custom fab work done on top of that. One of the previous owners was very handy with bondo and fiberglass which I have successfully excised. More photos to come.

Looking good! Better than im currently doing! Glad to see some progress on her.

Thanks. We just got manic about rust removal. Figured that this was a one shot opportunity to take it all out so it all goes, leading to more fab work. The biggest issue is that the welder I was originally going to use fell away so had to move it to another shop. Fitting, tacking, welding, more fab, etc. has been time consuming. Next step is all new door rubber, new seat box for front, then interior paint, carpet, headliner, heat/ac, stereo, etc.
