Some work on the passenger side B pillar. The Klassic Fab inner pillar didn't have this little pressing. My OCD kicked in so I transferred if from the OG panel onto the new one...

Image
Image
Image
Image

Also the front section of the new B pillar didn't have the door striker adjustment ribs. So I measured off the old one and transferred it to the KF one...

Image
Image

The window frame rot on the passenger side cut out and repaired...

Engine lid hanger welded in place. The top edge was rusty so made up two new sections and got them welded in and dressed up.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and gets a break. Looking forward to getting this build thread up to date and getting cracking on the bus again.
