Been over a year and a bit but primer/sanding will be done by tommorow, she doesn't look pretty now but that will end soon. Here's some before pics, 6 new welded in panels, roof straightened and lets say a whole lot of elbow grease!!, She's come alongway, hasn't been on the road for a decade and her last drive left her on it side at 5 am downtown Skagway Alaska. More to that story!!! Some bush guy lived in it for a year after that. Was my wifes first vehicle she drove from Lindsay Ontario to Alaska after College in 87. We found it still in Alaska, shipped in back for her 40th, Can't wait till she turns the key on her this spring..fingers crossed...Long way from this old Bancroft Canada gravel road runner. She's back home for good now.
