Great body work Paul. Your project is definitely going to be a reference for others dealing with rust repair and other body work, including me.

Thanks for sharing. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Nice work. You're doing the detail work that many Patrols need. The finished product will be great. 8-)

I haven't posted in a long time but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on Desert Rat. I finished up on the rear tub metal replacement then dropped it off at the bodyshop for some metal messaging. This thing was so bad I just didn't have the time or patience to get it laser straight. I also did some body work on the doors and had to weld up a ton of holes that were not supposed to be there. I just this yesterday sand blasted, straightened and filled the left step just need to paint black. I decided to have a local body shop do the final paint as I don't want to bring on too much heat from my home owners association. :lol:
