Im in eastern Iowa, near Iowa City. Truck is 2 hours away in northern Iowa at my FIL's shop, he tinkers with it when he can and I get up there about once a month for the weekend. Thus the slow process. Now that deer season is over, my weekends are a little more open
Cool!
I lived in Center Point till I was in 6th grade (1970ish), moved to La Porte City for 2 years, then we moved to Fort Dodge, till 1976, then moved To Oklahoma. Was a blessing, energy producing states all had job opportunities after 76, the rest of the country was having a tough time.
I have a 67 and 68, following your progress. I have been welding some patches in the floorboard of my brothers 73 Camaro, still learning on that deal...welding thin sheet metal is a different deal from joining two chunks of steel together.
Replacing the whole floor was a good decision, my opinion.
