Holy picture posting batman! Wow, cool progress. Slight shame to see she had some hidden stuff, but not a big deal. As you say, considering the age, location, and use these generally had. I still think you scored. Only so many of them left with all these cool options, and the cool OE look intact. Love these loaded ones. Looks like your buddy is getting it all straitened out for ya. A little filler isn't any big deal either (generally, many cars have a fair amount of filler at the roof to quarter seams, from the factory), as long as it's strait before paint. Thanks for the pics, very inspiring, and fun to see the progress on another great one being saved.

Very nice, your giving me alot of ideas for when I start the body work on my van. For the body seam on the quarter panel, how did you weld the patch without welding the seam? From the inside?

Dad burned rust, dad burned cancer. But I see your giving it the old radiation treatment with that welder the surgeon is using. The old van sure looks strong sitting there. That machine is going to be nice. Another one going back to the future. That welding edition is sure getting me cyked to be able to attack some rust on my van. Keeep it up. Here is some of my bloody cancer right under the bat box down into the wheel well.
