I always like the way you work with what you have, instead of buying all new. Nice job

  Awesome work as usual, John!

Very nice metal work.
What should be done to protect the backside of the welds?  Some are easy to get at, but the door pillar?

i coat everything with ospho.
and contrary to popular belief, rust cannot progress without moisture.

John is the ospho your using concentrate or reduced ready to use, I have been using the por15 metal ready for years, I wonder how they compair? and is ospho the actual name I might look for it up here.
