Chassis Headed out for blasting
And through the miracle of time lapse - returning a couple of months later freshly media blasted and coated in epoxy primer
Getting to work on the floor pan replacement - all four quadrants needed to be replaced along with some of the footwell areas and rocker panel inners (more on that later). Miraculously, outer rocker panels are almost perfect on this car.
Driver's floor pan cut out. pretty nasty.
Drivers' side rocker inner patched up
Footwell patched up
New sheetmetal on driver's side floor
On to the passenger side. Notice the ugly hole in the door sill/rocker panel - more on that later

Passenger floor installed
Now the back floors...
Repairing the seat rail supports
