I find this insignificant as in attributing to any amount of real rigidity in strength for bodyI was just going add some metal flange, note a stamping plant at some point is going to manufacture this partA pillars inspected and 100%, Small holes was used to inject zinc into boxed in areas of lower and upper A pillars and lower boxed in area above dashboardRear Leave Spring just cleaned and painted

carrier bolt bad, has all-threadDriver Side Seat Leather Cracking out on seat seams only the rest of the seat is holding up.New Mufflers the previous owner decided to weld them to pipe.# Three mount (behind driver door)was deteriorated to the point a repair was needed The B pillar was replaced and the driver side rocker metal that was only needing repair was cut out back to 95% solid metal ( I have the replaced cut out to view metal quality cut back )The Passenger side rocker and rocker B pillar are in very good shape, shown in pic's are a small area of rear rocker that was not the best I just cut it out cleaned rocker, zinced, por-15 I have added the rocker inserted sleeved on both sides just because I was there and I had plans on the car never needing any more repair for 50 more years its a pressed out channel matching the original channel inside diameter of rockers and mostly used when rocker channels are in very poor condition in this case rockers are in good condition with one just needing partial repair that was completed as seen in pics, I just wanted this area over and done with for EVER The rest of the driver side rocker was clean (Dremel Grinder) of light rust and painted with zinc chromate then covered with a sealing paint (POR 15) Headlights Motors removed and inspected and clean, gear box repacked with proper grease, fiber gearing in very good shape,
