    That is looking fantastic! Nice work there, it is definitely growing new skin.

    As it turns out, would've been much further ahead to simply buy a new tub. Probably run this for a few years and go for the completely new body.

    No question its a lot of work once the rust sets in. You have done a great job of getting it back together. I think it is looking very solid.

    Well done. In my opinion, I'm glad you went with fixing your original body. New bodies are quick, but you know every square inch of your rig now.

    Sheet metal work complete on rear half with the obvious exception of the rear floor area. Due to my poor / non-professional metal fabrication skills, pre-existing dents, eroded metal thickness, and low carbon content from many years of corrosion (I think that covers all my excuses), there is every degree and level of weld quality on this project!
