Polishing up the interior aluminum: Jail bar ends, deluxe seat bar and mounts.
Also cleaned, straightened??, re-glued the easy panels. Still not confident on some of the other panels. We will see soon. I also made the left front kick panel a eight fuse instead of the six fuse. Luckily the OG panel was still in the bus to use as a template. Someone cut speaker hole in it. These are panels from all over the US. Thanks all who provided these OG interior pieces.

Fitted the OG kick panels. Also finished the wiring. Took the parcel tray out to recover. The front floor mat is original to the bus. Someone spayed glue and attach carpet to it. Took half a day to remove most of the glue.

Finished welding the outrigger/jackpoint/ rocker/wheelwell area.
The worst thing left is the drivers lower corner where the tree grew under it squishing the corner and leaving a bark imprint in the paint. Can't decide whether to leave it as its last remaining junkyard scar. Also welded in the middle seat brackets that were missing. Pretty much only thing left on the body is blending paint on drivers wheelwell area.
