Work finally slowed down and equipment maintenance "seems" to be caught up so I got a few hours in on the panel. Going to try to get back on the "at least a few hours each week" schedule and see if I can't get a lot of stuff knocked out this winter. I have been collecting nice parts all along and I "think" at this point I have everything I need to get this thing knocked out.

The majority of what happened would not normally be worthy of pictures. I spent most of the time removing body filler from the lower sides and scraping undercoating off from underneath. Someone needs their body man card revoked. This box is about 16" square and I am not done. Some of the filler is almost 1" thick. The rocker panels were filled completely with filler, the only thing left of them was just the outer edge. Feels like the box weighs about 40lbs. The undercoating actually did its job though and saved the majority of the under body from rot.
