My '67 Panel is showing the same thing. I need to get busy on it. Good luck with your repairs going forward.

Re: Bluburb winter? project

LockDoc, do the panels use a plywood floor also? Or planks like a pickup.

Re: Bluburb winter? project

I have removed all the bolts from the plywood floor, the spare tire well is out. I cut the small piece of plywood out of the right front area near the center seat, it was warped from rust jacking. Loosened all the body mounts and attempted to lift the rear of the body to remove the crushed rubber mounts at the rear most support. The body wouldn't raise at all. I think I need more jacks to spread the load further forward

Looking forward to seeing more. I'll need to make some popcorn and grab a Porter. There's going to be lots to see!

Don't expect too much excitement, I don't work as fast as some of the people on this board, you included. Whats Porter? asks the east coast guy.

Even slow progress is exciting. I'm sure I'll learn from your progress.

And a Porter

Re: Bluburb winter? project

This is the first support I've managed to remove, slid out thru the wheel well. It's not terrible but looks like it would be hard to weld to, quite crusty in spots have to see if I can grind into some good metal
