Your are lucky, those look great The inside fender pieces are pretty rusty on mine. I will need to make something, not sure how yet though. I don't think anyone makes a patch for this piece. It has some nasty bends/folds in it. If someone sees this and has tackled this, maybe they could open a new thread. I think the torsion box will be easy to fix. Good luck.

I'm going to clean up what they cut out of the boxes and weld some plate back in. Shouldn't be a big deal. I'll pour the Por-15 to it before closing it in. I need to finish the dash first. I tend to have a.d.d when it comes to this stuff. I'll start on this part then look at that part then find something else and before I know it I have 10 little projects going on........

Anyone heard the A.D.D song on the Bob and Tom show? Funny stuff....

I just heard it yesterday and even though I've heard it several times before, I still laughed my butt off.

I have a jimmy full of that stuff, I thought that was the way you are supposed to restore it

I finally made a todo list up on my computer, keeps me focused only on that one job, but keeps me from forgetting something down the road.

It also allows me to keep thoughts and ideas I get off the boards. Things that don't have to be dun right away, but future projects, like my 3/4 ton M/C install, my tilt install, mods. on my front leaf spring rear hangers.... the list goes on and on, but I don't have to think about it rite now. I have limited brain space, and my synapses are not firing as well as they should
