Hi all I will give a description of what I have and where I'm at pictures will be choppy as I lost a lot when my phone broke.  I bought the car about 8 years ago and then it say for a while, now I've been working on t for about 5 years (hard to find time with two kids).  I replace the two quarters, taillight panel, trunk floor, one drop off and repaired the other, Dutchman panel, rust repair above windshield and a few other patches.  The door gaps were horrible so I welded the gaps up.    I spot blasted areas as I did repairs then later blasted the whole car to make sure all was ok.      I also welded in new torque  boxes home made frame connectors and us car tool fender braces and lower rad support which I reinforced.  I am going to run a 5.7 HEMI and a tko 600(not modified for an ebody, got a deal I could not pass) so I had to cut and support the transmission cross member while I was at it I opened up the tunnel to allow clearance for a tr6060 if I don't like the tko.  Here are some pics I will try to dig more up. I will try to keep pics in order now as I go forward

Sounds like it's been a long journey.  I hope you are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel now that it has been painted?  Keep the pics coming.
