What can I say. I wanted a panel bad at the time and this one popped up close enough to go get if I won but further than I wanted to go inspect. I bought by pics posted on the Ebay ad and needless to say it was not as advertised. Since i had already made the long trip and had already paid for it I went ahead with it. The bugger is, I have found 2 others that had way less rust since then, but I was already committed to this one in time & money. Besides, it never hurts to brush up on skills you have not used in over a decade it seems I think once I get past this front section it "should" move at a better pace, but we all know how that works sometimes.

Today I am trying my luck remaking the passenger side inner foot pillar to the correct width. I also need to get my doors out of storage so I can make sure seams are lining up close enough to button up the floor.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
