    Top Banana R/T

    Well, it's finally in the garage where I can start working on it.  I have a long way to go but after looking at certain areas of the car I have less work than other members do.  For instance, the fire wall is extremely nice and will require no replacement panels.  I do have to replace the right side inner fender it's been missing since I've had the car.  I will have to replace a small portion of my driver's floor but the rest of the interior floor is fine.  I will have to replace the truck floor and the right hand extension. 
    At the moment it's mostly clean up from sitting out side under a tarp.  Sure it was covered but Florida weather is still bad with all of the humidty.

    Let the fun begin  :woohoo:

    My first plan of attack is to replace the dutch panel and the driver's floor since I already have the sheet metal to do that.  Next will be the right side inner fender. 

    It was the problem of not having the proper tools and working on it outside was not a option.  Now that it's inside I have access to all the tools.  It was better to wait.
