Damn I would have left it ratty with neat interior .. Good work though, new fronts only come with fried egg but if you kept the old front you could cut n shut the nipple bases n surround section into new one oor delete them all together
Straight axle is better than IRS

Decided to remove the front Centre Chassis Section after replacing the rear section to see what inside of the panel was like for rust
was so glad I removed it so much left over sand and dirt was hidden inside and surprising no rust at all only surface rust so applied some rust converter and rust proof paint and allowed me to fix more of the chassis rust that I couldn't get to before then I welded it back in again and looks brand new!

adding on some new sheet metal the massive jig saw puzzle is slowing coming together bit by bit
just some more rust proofing on all the hidden channels and new panels that I wont be able to get to once welded on.

Wow your really hitting this project hard. I know that at times you must be wondering what have you let your self in for but little by little, your getting there. As for colour schemes ... thats the very last touch and something that will change a thousand times before she's ready.
Great work...
