Well I started sanding and body work. I will probably start buying stuff at the beginning of the year. Budget has been set. I should have all the body
work done except for the right rear quarter panel that I will buy at the 1st of the year.

Thanks For posting the pics. There will be more to follow. I have started to do the sand blasting and found some rust on the floor boards not to bad I
think it is fixable with out replacing the whole floor.

The rust monster is here I found more rust on the floor pan so I
am going to replace the right and left fronts and the floor pan to firewall pan on both sides. I might as well since the car is all apart not to bad
in price the front half floor pan is 64.95 each and the floor pan to firewall extensions are 39.50 each. I got a book from a company called Classic
Industries just Nova parts and all parts are OER Original Equipment reproductions (GREAT BOOK). I was wondering if any one would have a wire fed
weilder that I might use. Or maybe we can get together and all learn how to do this together I will let my 72 be the Ginny pig. Let me know thanks. I
don't think I want to tell Michelle I have to buy a Welder I think she will Any one is more then welcome to stop buy.
Yes CI is a great resourse for these cars.. I've also recently had a good experience with Year One ( http://www.yearone.com ) Prices are pretty close and each one you will find has somethings the other doesn't. Good luck and
again looking forward to seeing the progress on it
I have that weilder, I've only used it once it should work like new.

Well I took out the back window and found more rust up towards the top on both sides just below the roof line. I think this will be the hardest to fix
due to the roof and the window ledge best to find it all now rather then later. Well back to I go.

All the sheet metal is on order it should be here in a few weeks. Soon
it will be time for some heavy R&R of the floor pans and the rear
Quarter panel and outer wheel well. Michelle got me a welder for XmasI don't know if it will work it is for light duty up to 1/8" thick metal it should I hope.

This is a test to see if a new post posts on the forum page.
Hey man it posted
By the way that welder will work fine I'm sure.
May you always have what you need and never need what you want.

It works great I tried on the back panel for the back window. I think it will work even better on the floor pans since it is a thicker metal. I am
looking at about a year and it should be done. See you all at the
PIC-A-NIC on the 12th it should be sunny Thanks for your help Adam on
the posting.
