November 2018

Derusting and painting body mount shackles. Visited a friends shop to use his sheet metal brake and stretcher to fabricate patches for transmission opening supports and the bottom of the seat riser corner. Patched transmission floor opening with fabbed supports. Removed windshield and rear window. Removed some cab dents and welded up rust holes. Cleaned up door hinges.

Busting rust since the mid-60's
If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
