It's Time To Start To Put Her Together!

Here are some pictures of the restortion in progress.
 
Each area of the vehicle that contained rust was remolded with steel over steel construction. There was no bondo used anywhere on the vehicle to replace or cover up the rust areas. Each piece was cut then formed to fit and restore the body to it's original formation.
 
The floor pans were removed and restored then protective coating was applied to them before they were replaced.
 
Once the body was ready for preperation it was reblasted with a 6 coating process to insure a (hopefully) rust free future.
