😂 I couldn't do it, Kevin. It still won't be perfect, but it will be solid. Since many of the welds are hidden or very hard to locate I haven't fully metal finished them, but all the rust has been removed. I can rest easier now! Here are photos of the inspection, destruction, preparation, construction, installation (or test), and finalization of some of the panels.

Everything is epoxy primed way up inside, so that is a positive coming out of this rust adventure.

I still have to trim along the top edge, test fit, and then plug weld and stitch weld the passenger side top right patch I built in place. Almost there.
