    Looks like you're coming down the home stretch now. Well, for the metal work part of this project anyway.

    Yes, it's coming along, still a long way to go though.
    I worked on it a little bit tonight. Finished up the A pillar reinforcement panel and got it welded in. Did some bending to match the new rocker profile and punched and drilled a bunch of holes for welding.
    This pillar is getting some strength back into it now!

    Doing the fit up. Two bends to match the rocker profile and some of the plug weld holes.

    All welded in and touched up with a grinder.

    I started trying to weld the A pillar panel to the foot board patch but the gap was just to wide so I will make a little doubler and plug weld that in after I clean out the "bubble gum"... it will look a whole lot better...
