Good job!

With the car at the body shop, I started disassembling the motorhome 440 I picked up for it last fall... only have about 20 minutes in on it, having to squeeze it in between other projects before work

Off she went this morning for new quarter panels and rust repair around the trunk opening...

I am doing the same thing, just learning how to weld - so working on the drivers floor pan, engine compartment, small patch in the trunk pan - before I move to the exterior portions of the car.

I'm assuming you were asking Alf, but I updated my profile just in case & it needed to be done anyway.

If I recall correctly the motor mounts will also have to be changed for it to bolt in. The exhaust manifolds are also different, but I don't know if that will be an issue to just bolt it in for now.
