Thanks plainred, but we have limited tools and I'm still learning. But compared to many, this amount of rust is mild... very mild! Take a look over on thesamba.com in the Barndoor Bus section and have a look at what those guys are saving... That basket of green patch panels are just a little bit of the patch panels going into this bus... 10k worth of patch panels isn't unheard of in the Barndoor bus world!!

Here's the build thread.
