I cut the bed floor out this past weekend and removed the bed last night. Going to use the maple bed floor that came with Goldilocks in this one, have another plan in mind for 'Lock's floor...
The metal floor was only lightly tack welded in so it only took a couple hours to cut it out. Also installed a new turn signal switch to get all of the lights working, and cleaned up under the hood. We pulled the floor mat/padding and cleaned the loose rust off the floor with a needle scaler awhile back, then coated it with Chassis Saver to keep the rust from getting any worse. Found a cool mexican blanket for the seat too. Was hoping to have it ready to drive up to Pigeon Forge this weekend but the parts we need to finish it won't be here in time.
I'm thinking about scuffing up the body and shooting clear over it to lock in the patina. Would probably add 10-15% flattener to lose a little of the gloss. There's a local guy with a couple of cleared VW busses that look pretty cool.
