Fenders are off the car and amazingly not even a SINGLE HOLE of rusted panel behind the front tires and inside the fender well... not bad for 44 yr old lady ay?...

Not bored at all. Wish my restoration moved at that pace. Mine is ready for paint and hope to complete it this winter. Its taken me nearly six years to get this far. Keep sending the pics, it inspires me:)
Note: Take care around those jack stands, steel on steel will slip quite easy.

Dont worry if you look closely, they are "welded" together - i needed a higher jackstand but dont have any so i thought what the h3ll can always fabricate and make use of what we have for now... ;)
