Nice, was it a panel replacement or fab and patch as needed?
That reminds me, need to address a spot on one of my doors.
Oh please, the old 60 was way worse, had to remake all 4 body mounts and wheel wells one summer when I discovered I had nothing there. Those little holes are nothing

Milson does meticulous and careful work. He was showing me some similar repairs to a 60 he was tackling yesterday.

New fabricated panels welded and the inner was rotten so Rob used part of the inner reinforcement panel I had ordered from Japan - that saved many hours.
Glenn i'm a bit surprised that you didnt do this yourself. maybe i have to remind you that you are The Glenn.

Is that your BJ74 Glenn?
Funny there is more than one Rob Milson that works on cruisers. Past owner of RADD cruisers is also Rob Milson (handle on mud is Diesel Cruiserman). More mechanic than body man tho.

Not quite, @Diesel Cruiserman is Rob Lassman, former owner of RADD. Millson worked for RADD for awhile, has worked on LC's for years. Rob L. sold RADD before Rob M. started at RADD, if I'm incorrect I'm sure one of the Rob's will chime in

Well if we're on topic of Rob's rust repair skills, post up some more pics of that fine 60 work.

Is that why it filled up with lake water so quickly?
partly, actually at that point in its life it wasn't that bad yet.
cool, using 18ga or thinner for new steel?
I have the pleasure of factory donor pieces, seemed to be close to 18 might be a smidgen thicker.
I think the factory stuff might be a metric measure if there is such a thing in metal thickness?
It's been a while since I bashed 60 series steel, thought it was a bit thinner than 18ga.
And there are metric equivalents in sheet metal
