McMark took some time out of his busy schedule to fly to CA and help me get my /6 rolling.
It will be traveling to Original Customs in Michigan soon to begin its transformation into a running and driving car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Cleared all the tar off the floor to see what we're working with. I'm actually REALLY surprised how good the floors are. Since the chassis was sitting outside in the weather for years, I would have expected more holes. This is the sort of experience that reinforces my understanding that rust is not the voracious predator everyone seems to think it is. Just because a car gets wet doesn't mean it'll rust away in a year. I'm considering keeping these pans and just patching a few small areas..
