Back at it

Much more fun to be in the garage now that the weather is nice. Rust repairs should start to move more quickly now. Just finished replacing the inner longitudinal on the driver's side. Had to fab the piece which was not easy. Also finished the repairing the section between the wheel well and the hinge post. Cut out the lower hinge post and left front section of the tub. Finalizing the new sheet metal and should have them welded in shortly.
