Well, it seems that for all we do, we find more that we're going to have to do! One step forward, two back so to speak.
That problem with the heater channel is a concern. It may mean there isn't any place to weld a new one on to! Pulling that little pop riveted piece back revealed much and is worrisome.
Once we get it up on the sawhorses (which are 8 feet long and about 35 inches tall, made with 4x4" fence posts and steel) we should be able to tell more. The body will be up on sawhorses and the chassis will be stored underneath, but able to roll out for us to work on in the driveway.
See, here...someone did it to a Karmann Ghia...the same thing we're fixin' to do.
