                    Body work began. Filled in holes for trim. Not going back with chrome trim if anyone is interested in it.

                        Both front fenders are in pretty bad shape. Only the front bottoms. Still in need of replacements if anybody has a lead. Ordered fender patch panels from BJ's in January and still a supply shortage...

                          Had to rebuild window flange. It was completely rotted out.

                                Filled in luggage rack holes. Going with ConFer rack I found on CL last year. If anyone is interested in the stock luggage rack let me know.
