It's a bit lumpy in a few places, but for the first time since the 60s, this car is made entirely out of steel.

I’ve got to go around it and correct a few things and trim and weld things that got left unfinished at the ends of previous seasons. Lots of work left to do, but at least it is now a whole car to do it to.

Big holes in the firewall are not good. left the bottom open a bit because there clearly needs to be a drain here.

And the (probably not the last) last patch ever! Just tacked, smacked, and trimmed. no need to get all scientific about it. I hope he never gets this car wet.

I’m not free of it yet, but now there’s a body do start bodywork on next year.

*glances at pile of rusting metal in backyard*

So that wasn't bodywork, that was body addition.

That was floorboard repair on an old car that got way WAY out of hand.

Granted.
