Well...to clarify my position in life...I'm 43 and retired. I'm not doing this for the money. I wish I had started life working on cars and now I have the chance to burn a little money doing it.
I'm not rich, but I can burn $500-$1000 a month every month without upsetting the wife. Besides, she prefers me to have a project in the garage enjoying a couple beers rather than being at a pub...which would cost me $500-$1000 a month anyway.
I'm going to save this bird...
Good news! I found solid sheet metal. The rockers are solid, the rear of the interior floor pan is perfect as is the interior of the quarters, roof frame...anything inside seems good. The moron before me did replace the floors with....I don't know what the floor panels were out of...but he did a terrible job, even welded the rear drivers side on top of the seat mount. Also...if you were going to cut a square hole in the trunk why not just cut out the support while you're at it...I feel better about how much of a rookie I think I am, the guy before me sucked! Got to figure out that one but...
I fix...
Some pics...body cart next week for sure...I think I can get it ready for paint for 10K. Think of how good I'll look in it! Still waiting my on her PHS paperwork.
