Thank you.
Today I replaced the passenger lower dogleg that was rotten from behind. Still gotta clean up the welds. Took about 4 hours to do.

Gotta knock out the drivers side still started cutting out the rusted floor with the air chisel first just to get the majority of bad metal out. Best time to repair that A pillar.

| Hey Skim. Looking great. Just a question on your rocker trim placement. Is that close to where you pulled it off? All deluxes I've had, the top of the trim was almost to the top of the pass side rocker. |

Good question. I did the one finger rule as mentioned somewhere on here before but I’m not too worried about it. My Turkis bus is the same way.

I have some but not much picture worthy. Got all the middle and rear seat mounts welded in last week. Only have a floor section on the drivers side to go. It’s going to be back on all four wheels for the first time in a long time.
