Another couple months gone by, and still more work to be done.

Lately I've focused on the engine, but that is on hold for a week or two so back to the "grind". Sanded and cleaned the inner rockers, cleaned up some rust with the dremel, wire brush and a screwdriver. It hurt poking that hole in the paint but rust bubbles mean rust so it had to happen.

The PO hadn't killed the rust in that spot properly when he painted it. It lasted about 4 years before the bubbles started to appear from what he said. Now its being done all over again. To get it right I'll have to remove the door at which point I may, since I'll have paint, redo the jamb and inner door faces and rebuild that door.

Jackpoints look great in person. I used a marine grade polyeurethane seam sealer over the edges and the welds, so that combined with the gloss black POR makes them look poor in the picture I think. Next with those it to drill a tiny hole in the top and fill them with paint, then drill the drain holes in the bottom corner so they'll be painted inside.
