Frame off the body in 2002:

A little floor pan rust that turned out to be a floor pan replacment after my putty knife went thought the metal.

The "C" Section.
You're looking at a 1/2" wide gap caused by rust at the based of the windsheild. This little problem caused me to have to remove everything in the dash, so the welding work wouldn't set fire to the wiring, plastic, insulation, etc..

Rigging beam I built to get the body off and on the chassis. It worked great later as an engine hoist.

Loaded up for trip to sand blasters.

Back from the sand blasters. The black paint is DuPont Emron "chassis-black". Hit this stuff with a hammer, and it won't chip!

Now with a rebuilt front suspension. You can see the left fender hanging in the ceiling.
