It would appear that a previous owner added a driver's side gas tank and couldn't be bothered with changing the driver's side exterior panel and adding a second gas cap, hose, etc. - so they decided that butchering the front tub panel was the better course of action - gag! Just wondering if anyone would care to impart some sage advice in my direction regarding correcting the following issue. How tough is it to replace the outside body panel? Is there a video of such a job some where?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

So we have removed some body parts, pulled the heater blower, removed the bastardized tub and slinky exhaust.

Onward and upward. Need some replacement bushings for my new shocks and leaf springs. New wiring would be nice.

Looking Good! Keep up the good work ...

It's a great time to access the rear chassis for clean up, maybe change out the brake lines? new rear parabolics springs? .... oh the wish list goes on ....

Keep us updated on the progress

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Andy,
Nothing that enough time and money won't cure I figure.
