I've been doing some decidedly unglamorous work on CRLS, so I haven't been posting much. Mainly getting the frame/suspension disassembled and prepped for the sandblaster. In keeping with my "reduced budget" approach, I plan to retain the stock drum brakes. I was pleasantly surprised to find the drums have never been turned and the linings have a lot of service life left. I'll clean them up and freshen the hydraulics, but other than that, they should be good to go. I also finished welding and grinding the passenger side door bottom. Turned out pretty nice and hopefully will not interfere with the rocker panels. It will be a while before the verdict is in on that one.

Also took some time to patch the driver door. Had to do both lower corners, the area where the mirror attaches and the door jamb where the upper hinge bolts on. Major ugly in all those places with MIG welds on top of welds. Cut most of it out and made new replacement patches.
