Truth be told I am also relieved. I was so torn over being the guy who takes a "survivor" and modifies it, but now I know she's seen some things I don't feel anywhere near as bad. Yesterday I found the thinnest little bondo area on the bottom of the front edge of the driver fender behind the bumper. Also, while P'Blasting the bed bolts preparing for removal, I found one of the longer ones was replaced with a hardware store carriage bolt and is about 1/3 the normal size. Digging into the frame rail to get that nut off should be fun....
