Can you spell:
100% EAST COAST RUST FREE ROCCO MK1 !!!
I'm kind of proud of this moment, after 2 big bottles of argon gas, and 1-1/2 sheet of 20 gage 4'X4', and I would say about 80 hours of fabrication / welding (I know, like I said before, I'm slow...)
The underside is almost finished.

too bad we won't be able to see all this work, but its imperative that it was accomplished, in order to have a solid and reliable car...

I will be laying a few more sheets of metal going from the frame rails / bumper supports, to the engine bay sides (cleaner look)

I wanted to continue today, but I need a 3rd bottle of argon gas...

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate them!
Inside is done with the POR15.
Next is installing the B-Quiet Ultimate membrane, that I just received yesterday...
I still need to finish of a bit of welding in the front, but I'm taking a break from welding ; Too much welding, getting boring...

Finally got myself another bottle of argon.

I am not painting over the POR15, I will only lay 3M undercoating #08883 (Started spraying in one of the pics below...) 76SR; I just patched up as I was going, trying not to butcher up the original look too much...
Take a look at the pictures above, I was making small patches, and blending shapes, to retain the stock "feel"
The interior is now finished with the B-quiet ultimate...
(I have to stop having these 3-4 hours sleep nights...)
I just can't wait to have it back from the painters, and assembling the parts on it!

Should be Feburary or so.
