All rockers positioned and ready for welding.
A lil modification to the Klassic Fab part to make it fit
Ready for welding!

The Day has finally come. Time for things to stop coming out and stuff to start going back in.
Top Hat and inner rocker
B pillar section
Now for the stuff thats seen. This is all just fit in no welding other than a tack or two to help with the fit.
Its going to be difficult or next to impossible to weld in the support under cargo door in between the outer and inner rocker so after we fit everything the inner rocker will be unscrewed and the support bracket will be welded from the back side then the inner rocker followed by the floor section.

Now for the right or passenger side under the cargo door. It looks like this section is the worst.

Tear down of the old rockers and support structure under the side floor sections. She looks pretty bad in there.
If you have a weak stomach, WARNING the next photos are GRAFIC

Thanks cru... what is it supposed to do? Added support to the rear of the rear seat frame? I think I can make this for sure. Is it really needed? I know the krusty kab doesn't have one.

Nice. I have to dig up the pic of the egg laden bird nest I found in the roof above the driver side visor.

So I found out why she smelled so bad. I removed the covers leading to the fuel tank and found home insulation that housed two mice a years worth of what appears to be feed of some kind. How did I know it was mice, well the droppings the smell of urine and the two lil mice skeletons.

Nasty! Looks like the attic in my house. Keep up the good work!

It's always worth the wait. The last 2 buses I've owned where solid enough to enjoy and then I broke them down. When I swapped my small nut for a big nut, I found my PS rear wheel well is hacked in bad. So I know that needs done. I want to replace the inside floors and dog legs. It was patch by the PO so... I'll drive it until I buy another house.

I wish I would have just put her back to running and enjoyed her for a while before I broke her down. I know its going to be sweet when its done but its sucks to have to wait.
