we need a couple more guys so we can put the body back on and line up the pans to ensure proper placement we hope to do this soon after the monument show

Yeah, what he said.

After Doug and Ryan left, I did some more wire brushing and grinding. Then I was really studying the process of the pan placement from the factory and decided to really get in there and prep it right and now one side is completely prepped. I will tackle the other side probably next weekend.

As Doug mentioned, I will need to get a few more hands on the job in a couple of weekends, to help lower the body to help facilitate the correct pan placement. I will order the new body seal and other various mounts and seals to properly set the body before welding in the pans.

Man! Thanks for all the offers!

I am looking to do the work within the next couple weeks. Just need to line up some parts and get it ALL ready to do this.

I don't want another repeat of what happened the last time I got help... right Doug?

Hondas.... :roll:
