Sorry, no new pics, just words...wrapped up the sandblasting today (the sand blasting I needed to get done immediately anyway) after spending all day Saturday doing some spring garden work with the wife. Good news is that now I can start finishing the inside metal and start with the toe boards and floor pans (no really, I can ). Some more pics to come this week - should be able to work in some POR-15'ing after work this week.

Thanks man, I wouldn't be doing this unless I've owned the car for so long.  

So I got some stuff done on Sat and this evening. Sat I cut out the driver side toe board area and worked on shaping up the new patch from my donor. One small problem - I need to practice welding before I can do anything with the patch. I plan on doing that Thurs/Fri evening and trying my hand at some MIG welding during the weekend.

Removed the area around the high-beam switch first:



Removed the next part of the rotted area:



The patch in it's almost final form:



Not a bad fit - will need a little "massaging" but it should work:

Started applying some Eastwood Rust Encapsulator to the inside of the shell. I got this when Eastwood was having one of its many sales and it was a good price, so figured what the heck.
