Did this..Here's the update of the burb.. I'll let the pictures tell the story.. There were over 200 spot welds lovingly drilled out today...

Here's the driver's side outer floor and inner rocker welded in.. Still have to smooth the welds..


And--here's the mayhem I caused today.. I removed the entire inner structure in expectation of finding internal rot in the A-Pillar.. After rmoval of the dashboard and inner panel-I found that the inside was solid.











I will be coating the inside with rust converter and then using the cutaway pieces below to make everything solid.. I will sandblast all the individual pieces before slapping them together...







Does anyone re-produce these placards? I used a little Simple Green cleaner on mine to get the oxidation off, but the color started coming off worse than it already was. I figure I can get a new one if they are re-created and just stamp the original codes and numbers in the blank spaces.


And, here's the finished steering wheel. It's a GM Pewter Metallic Dupli-Color spray can color from NAPA. I think the lighting makes it look pretty close to the "Fawn" color although I was looking for more of a silver. The metallic in it is really nice-can't wait to get it in some better light.


There are more pictures in my link below showing today's work..
