It's gonna be a SLOOOOW process... I'm trying to finish school, apply for grad school, study for the GRE, train for a half marathon, and am in leadership roles for two organizations... AND fix this car... I think my plate is a little full...

However, rather than doing all of those things, I would LOVE to only focus on the car.

Just harassing ya, its the time spent that makes it fun. Never get in a hurry, that's when short cuts are made. One day Big Grin

Thats exactly why I don't want to hurry! This car will get done, and it will be done correctly! I'm hoping to have it nearly completed by May (or at least in a drive-able condition)

Finally got a chance to go home (Thanksgiving Break) and had time to get some work done! Whoever worked on the car before me did NOT go by the book... random pieces of metal screwed to the floor (I guess he tried fixing the floorpans with scrap metal), one piece (about 1'x1') had 31 screws in it....
Should have the body off the chasis in a day or two.

Basically no drivers side floor left, all rusted out.
