MY 72 Resto-obsession

[brads70]

Andy,

   You got bigger kahunas than I do.   

That was one rusty bucket.

  wow! Good job though! I gotta admitt I'd like to try bringing back a rot box just for the challenge.

Time to replace the whole floor. I decided to use a 1 piece instead of all of the patch pieces.
Went real smoothly.

Rocker panels looked quite rough, so I cut out all of the rot and formed new
rocker patches. Man is this car a wreck. Bit off a lot more than I had bargained for, that's for sure.

Bart, to the dismay of some here, it's gonna be plum crazy. It's been my favorite color my whole
life and I always wanted a purple car.

Those front rockers are typical of what I had to do.  Mine were as bad.

You did good. Looks a lot better.

Keep going it gets better.

Your about to get a whole lot busier!

I'm working on it...I'm working on it.

Sorry it took so long to update but here goes... I  ended up replacing part of the fire wall and putting patches
on the inner fenders for the hood hinges.

After working tediously on the sheetmetal I decided it was time to have some fun. So I installed front and rear torque boxes
and fitted the subframe connectors. Took a bit of massaging but seemed to fit nicely in the end
