Seems my Nov. 13/10 update was removed...no problem...Welded in the spare tire well bottom...still need to patch the sides.

Thanks to a gift from my parents, they ordered up the door seal kit and brake line kit for me from CIP1, which arrived Thursday by UPS! Just need a mild day and I plan on putting in the front to back brake line, as that one has a leak...I suppose a line bending tool is something I should try to locate before hand, to get the bends around the foot pedals in particular. I can also address the creative brake line routing as seen in the above pictures (when we installed the new shocks).
The door seal kit means I can worry about rebuilding the doors once (the driver's door is apart as we changed it out a while back for a spare). Just need to plan as to when I do that. Probably make sense to wait until there is paint on the door, as opposed to just primer.
