After posting I realized some photos from my VW bus resto might interest you. At least give you a sense of how balanced and versatile the Whirly Jig is.

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely check them out.
Looks like you're deep in the nitty gritty of the metal work, and its great to see that you're getting it done right!

What a weird coincidence ! I just finished painting one of those !

Beautiful. Great color - always loved the Turqs!

A bit of progress to report. With exterior metal complete, it's time to wrap up a few interior issues. Rotisserie sure makes things easier.

A while back I mentioned that my LV came to me with a luan paneling headliner. While that headliner had been removed months ago, all the holes created to install it hadn't been addressed. Glad to say that now they have ...

All the obvious floor issues had been addressed a while back. Now its time to media blast and expose any concealed weakness/issues needing attention.

Around here its good policy to pick up the sprayer as soon as you sit down the blast wand

Mudflap bracket was a little crusty

Next up, some rocker repairs. Plan is to get these last repairs done, blast inside and out and, if all goes well, have the body in epoxy by weeks end.

Awesome work and very inspiring! Keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming!

Thanks @KT40 , the positive feedback helps keep me excited about where all this work is leading!

Looking great man! Too notch work and attention to the details. Excited to see this one soon.

Definitely not helping my LV lust or for that matter the growing list of needs the lpb has here.

The build is looking great!!! I hope your rockers don't have the same rot on the inside as mine did. The outside was pretty smooth after I media blasted but there were a few holes. When I investigated the inside I realized that it rotted from the inside out. I'm now working on replacing basically....everything . See pic of the front passenger rocker with the door sill removed and a piece of the outer rocker . The problem with the rockers is there are no drains. Make sure that your body guy makes some provisions for drain holes along the outer seam pinch well on the rocker

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to pass it along.

You're probably right Ken but you seem to be getting quite a bit of enjoyment out of your LV. I still have all the pictures you sent me and your LV has the same "opportunities" for metal work as mine .
