WOW

I thought that I had some bad rust. Now the couple holes in my frame seem like nothing!

yeah, and that was JUST the passenger side! The driver's side has had some major work done (mostly in the wheel well), but is going to need a little more in the near future.

Now you guys know why I'm such a prick when someone comes on here with some surface rust and is thinking about selling the car.

Also: We are moving shop. The new place is bigger, and therefore better. 19 foot ceilings, and 1200 square feet of floor space, with an office and a bathroom.

Its time to get serious

I've got some more rust repair coming up soon (the other side of the car). I'll try and document as much as I can.
