Here are a few pics of my interior before starting the resto on my 73. Sounds like you need a few good rain coats there LT  Send a little rain my way my lawn could use some.

Some Progress in the progress thread.......

After drilling all of my weld points and cleaning all of the paint off of the inner rocker where the outer rocker will be welded, i welded the drivers side rocker in place and ground all of my welds except for a few which i will finish Sunday.
Heres a few pics of the rocker welded and after the welds were ground smooth.

Well after bending over and laying on the ground working on the rocker my back needed a break.... So i started to work on the R/S fender skirt. It has some rust on the section that sits below the battery tray. This section is spot welded to the rest of the skirt so i drilled out the welds on the rusty piece and then from the donor car. I glass beaded and primed the replacement panel before welding to my fender skirt. Then it was time to clean up the tools and shut down the bodyshop LOL. Time sure fly,s when your havin fun:bowtie: Thanks for stopping by to check out my progress Rob
pics of the skirt will be in next post...
