Pretty slow progress over the past few weeks.  Work has been crazy and I've had no motivation.  I did get some grinding and dent pulling done, and I got this small piece near the driver rocker fixed.

I lost interest for the past several months but now I'm back in the fight.  I've been taking care of a lot of little stupid things but finally got the courage to tackle the firewall.  I knew this was going to be painful and I was right

Thanks.  This is the last bit of rust so I should be able to put the welder and grinder away now.

Finally started body work last week and forgot how bad the previous owners screwed up the jamb area on the driver side.  I got the gaps pretty good but they need some more work.  Here is the before and after of what I had to do to repair stupidity.  I'm amazed how much time people with spend repairing panels with bondo.  I'll have to rework the upper roof skin in the top right but that won't take long to fix and get the gap corrected.

Nice lines!

At current market prices, you won't lose money if you decide to sell.

BTW, glad you were able to eat some Frosted Flakes along the way...

I haven't replaced the body bushings yet but the fender gap looks pretty good.  I gotta do something about the A-pillar to door gap right above the fender though.  It's pretty nasty.

Don't even fiddle with those gaps til you are sitting on your good body mounts.
