Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Been some time since I updated this with the progress. Still in paint/body jail but much closer to a release date, LOL.

After the trunk rear section and support bracing was found and replaced had issues with the floor foot area behind the front seat. Both required floor panels to be replaced, just too much thin rusty material to be comfortable with. Had the inside treated with an epoxy spray to prevent further rust altho most likely was not NEEDED but what the h***, it's only $$ and I swore I would not cut corners with my last project build. Currently is in the sand and block process. Body guy is retired like I am, (from same company) and works at his own pace like do, LOL.

A few pics of the process.
