Definitely not moving quick lol but am happy to see the body coming back together and not just being held together by clamps
Seems fast to me bud. I'm glad to see you are recovering much faster than I did.

Gotta admit I was kind of worried with how the floor was fitting at the center but took a jack and got it fitting really good before burning it in. Need to order the center seat brace, a pillars and the b pillar patches. Also have some more work to do in the rear seat area still.

Today’s edition of Swiss cheese repair is more work in the rear seat area. Passenger side is no better.

Not much has changed with the car. I did set the body back on the frame and have it in storage in my moms garage as I’ve got some other projects I’m trying to get done that’s in front of it. I picked up the wiring harness today, will start going through it and do any necessary repair and cleanup it needs. I hope to get back to speed on it this winter. The only major rust repair that is left is the a pillars and windshield header.
