All respect, just trying to follow along

Due to keeping the structure from falling into itself, it might be a good idea to do the floors after the quarters, tubs, dash, filler panel and roof.

We'll be doing all the sheet metal replacement with the body braced on our jig to make sure it goes together squarely and the panel fit is correct. The rotisserie is great for gaining access for scraping and blasting, but to your point, things can get outta whack if you're not careful!

Default re: Unexpected rust

Never fun to run across unexpected rust, but I've seen a lot worse. You're in good hands with Kevin and his crew. The did an awesome job on the quarters and minitubs on my Camaro.
