Progress shot



I wasn't planning on replacing the driver's rocker but it was just a little too crapped up to repair. So I cut it off and made a couple patch areas for the inner rocker, which is in the pic. I'm hoping to get the outer rocker on in the next few weeks. So it looks like the only metal that won't be replaced is the roof and firewall. And even those are iffy now LOL.

Thanks Alex. I can't believe that I'm actually running out of metal to replace.

And I KNEW that you'd comment on the exif data. I just KNEW it when I saw you replied ha ha!

It's my dad's. He's had it for a few years now... he's not a pro or anything but is a big camera buff and wanted to go digital and retain the use of his film lenses. The thing takes awesome shots.

Here's another one done in my untrained hack hands. I didn't even try to take a great shot, I just wanted a pic so I could sell the alternator:



You can actually see the reflection of a desk in the chrome LOL.
