Well today was the day, well dave becker and i started at 9am intending to get the body preped and the new pan set for the swap then do all the heavy work when the other members of the club arrived.
We couldn't wait.
here are some photos of the day.
as you can see safety was our top priority.

not everything went to plan.
we lifted the shell to find that a mounting bracket stayed with the pan.
not happy jan.
but not to worry dave did a mosaick weld job and it looks good as new.

Looks like a FUN day
pan n body mating are always good. Ive done several of those over the years. Bet your glad Beck was on hand.

Dave was a great help, hell it could not have been done without him and Wayne Penrose.
We are lucky that dave and i started early and found that rust damage when we did.
Dave did a great job of repairing the section.
Buzz is now up at wayne penroses get some adjusters, shocks, swaybars and the rear end lowered at the moment.
it is going to be ready on thursday and i can't wait.
