Good progress last night.

Are next steps the chassis or more on the body? I remember you have a deposit on Porterbuilt components?

If you replace the floor maybe follow Iceburgh's example....the way I went is a lot of work / hours.
I think that I will focus somewhat on the chassis. There are still some rivets that I need to knock out. I would also like to have the frame sandblasted. The frame is in very good condition. According to Porterbuilt there are close on the AD kits. I have heard that for awhile but at least I should be ready when they are.

I think I will also start working on removing the rear wood. I will revisit Iceburgs build to refresh my memory. I did use his hole saw technique to free up the rear body mount bolts. They were a bear to get to and the carriage heads just spin (as I'm sure that you know). Your floor will turn out great. I have a few ideas for a different twist on the flooring but the size and shape of my rear notch will dictate a lot.

I hope my progress is more frequent that it has been.

Thanks
Marc
