Its a good thing you have sturdy tie downs for that monster.

Yep, and the hole in the floor gets plexi for the full 1/4 mile wheel stand.

Trip to California. First trip with the wife in years, met some new MOPAR friends, found a honey pot for my next restoration endeavors (UFOs), got some locks repaired and rekeyed, got fresh strawberries from the field, got a free 2 barrel for a 225, saw some cool hot rods at Full Scale Hotrods, and got rust free metal for the one truck from Troy there in trade for some A100 parts. Great week of retirement.

Thanks to Troy Martin from Full Scale Hot Rods & Customs in Ventura California my ‘69 Truck will keep a piece of his prized van that was hit to hard to repair alive. These pieces have relit the fire for getting this truck done. They will take care of so many issues that were starting overwhelm me.

You amaze me with locating parts. I don't know if it's luck or what but, you need to buy a lotto ticket.

Heck, I get overwhelmed just by watching your threads.

Committed now. Some Rusty and crumpled metal out. Floorboard wrinkles hammered out and almost flat now. Slowly contemplating what and where to cut and graft. The 80’s body work was top notch. That area around the lower hinge was like this then filled with filler.

Now you did it.

My conscience (I named mine @MP&C) said it’s better to separate the panels vs trying to graft on the entire corner. Patch panels separated from the step back ready to clean and mock up. Next comes the corner piece. Nice to be able to slowly pull it apart as a complete section you can roll to any position to understand how it was assembled.

I think I'm with MP&C on this one, Jim! Fond memories of the Little Red Wagon growing up.

Was thinking of you a few weeks ago when I saw this at a local car show. Sure it's an Econoline with the heart of a Chevy...........but you get the point.

Day 3 of drilling spot welds is actually getting better as I am seeing the end... sort of... The door post is tweaked from that fender bender... guess since I have one I should replace it. Someone asked how I find the spot welds.. usually like this.
