And here's where I took my thumb outta my ass and started rust repair. Bought a welder, learned how to weld and started the project. Every internal/external portion was POR-15'd.

Good work on the rust repair.

Damn, this car has come a long way! The rust repair work is great!!

[PatBroChill]

Thanks a lot! It has a long way to go but I'm happy with the progress it's making. Sprayed the fenders yesterday. They're not a great match but oh well. Better than nothing. Ill post some pictures later
