In the last post I mentioned that there was a lot of rust that showed up after the body was sandblasted. I knew beforehand that we needed to repair the rocker panels and the rear trunk floor but I did not realize that there was a lot of rust in the spare tire well, the lower rocker boxes, the right side inner quarter panel and the front floor pans. Here are a few pictures of what I was talking about.
