True there is allot of Gerson metal but the bardoor was rough. this is not going to be easy street body work. the driver side is part 1955 and part new metal and was not fabricated by me I just finalized the very rough welding work some one else did and I installed it on the bus. as any one can see I had to start from the ground up because the frame was run over and into everything. there is a mix of different year parts. like I said it was a tough build. I would say its about 60-80% new metal. the cleanest part will be the interior cargo area and engine bay. looking forward to seeing all the block sanding.:wink:

if you have any question feel free to email me. [email protected]
