Before I begin, yeah, Rick, I'll put the pix on a website when I get the
majority of the work done and all the film developed for phase 1 (can I
borrow someones site for a sampler?).

O.k. Here goes: I found a roll of forgotten film that I shot when I
pulled the engine from the Pantera oh-so-long ago. Included in the
pictures were the original reasons why I pulled the engine and began
this monumental task. The first instances of discovering the door rust
and the mediocre shape of the firewall are recorded. (Kinda brought a
tear to my eye seeing my Pantera when she had all four wheels
(sniff!.....)).

I also had my more recent photos of the passenger side wheel well repair
(you know the one with the "axle rod" damage) along with pictures of
before, during, and after. In fact, I think all the major things I've
done (d.side rocker panel, d side wheel wheel, and axle damage) have
sequenctial photos to their eventual fix. I'm trying to organize that
into more fluid form of presentation.

Hokay, that's about it. I'm expecting a friend to arrive just in time
for this year's SLO Mardi Gras. That will put me back until next weekend
for any major work to be done. Cal, #2428r.
