Ok, here’s the good, the bad and the ugly.
The body is still very straight and overall minimal work will be needed.
But here’s where it gets ugly. Both “A” pillars are rotted at the floor pan and as nice as the paint looked from the outside it penetrated pretty bad under the rocker guards.
I knew about those points, but what I didn’t know was how bad it had rotted under the roll bar mounting points. But now that we need to rework those areas, we are going to beef up those points with 1/8 plate where it ties into the frame mount points below.
At least we now know and that’s why we are doing this before it got worse. Next to primer to protect the raw steel and then he’ll start cutting.
