That stinks to see the rust, but at least it isn't too bad. We have back up cameras in some of our GMC vans at work that have 3.5" screens and they work pretty good.

I have been working on the panel but I have been doing stuff that isn’t real exciting. I lost a couple of days, one because my wife's computer took a dump so I had to fix it, and the other was we both had doctors appointments the same day and I had to drive her home from hers..

Anyways, I got the rust cut out at the bottom corners of the windshield, welded in new metal, and finished it off with a little Metal-to-Metal filler. Put a couple of coats of primer on it today. I decided to go ahead and prep the interior heater boxes so they are ready to paint.

When I was under it loading it on the trailer to bring it home I noticed the bottom of the gas tank was wet with fuel. I figured I might as well drop it and check it out. It looks pretty nasty with a big patch on it, and it’s leaking around the patch. Looks like it’s time to scrounge a tank…. I also sorted out some parts that need blasted so I can do them all at once.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't updated this thread for four months. Where does the time go???

I did have to take a short break from it to put this together:

but I'm back on it with a vengeance now. I will post some update pics tonight if I can get one of my three cameras to work...

I ended up buying a new tank and lines.

Later....
