Thanks guys!!
This is the worst part by far for me seems like hours go by and it seems like nothing gets done.but I am making progress the major body work is just about done I have the rear doors stripped and ready for some filler and primer.
It only seems that way. Take a few minutes and look back through your thread and tell me with a straight face that you are not getting anything done. From experience I understand what you are going through but from where I sit you have done an incredible job saving this van.

Body work is an can be very time consuming.
On the good side look at the money you are saving.
Set down and put the time you have spent, multiplied by your local shops labor rates.The cost of you build will sky rocket.
Also there is nothing better than to be able to say when it is all done.I did it ALL myself......

Only minimal amounts of mud required to smooth your work is a great testament to quality of the metal work. Looking forward to seeing the van in paint.
