Keep up the excellent work Tom

Thanks Kirk.. This is definitely the last bus I am doing... I think I will do something with less rules...something like this

Plugging away
Can anyone tell me what these holes in the cargo floor are for. I assume for seat bolts?

Seat belt anchors?

Correct. 66 and 67 had them and possibly 65 and 64.

Thanks guys

The holes end up right on top of the I beams....is there a bolt with some kind of special backing plate that you weld to the I beam?
Could someone take a pic if they have this setup in og form?

Hoping to get the long panel in place this weekend

Well with the warm weather ahead it feels like spring. That
means this old pile is going to the back burner. I made a lot more progress on it
than I thought I would. I am pretty happy with getting the cargo doors done, cargo rocker, small rocker, doglegs both sides, long panel, and most of all the nose back on with windshield frame.
I am putting this aside to work on my other daughters 57 ragtop It is down to body and paint(strato silver)

Left to do on the 13 window
finish cargo floors
Walkthru seat backs
rear wheel tub bottoms
battery tray
platform tray
engine bay left and right trays
rear angle supports
both rear corners
engine lid hinge carrier
3 x window bottoms
body and paint

Maybe next year haha

Why, are you looking for a cool father-in-law?

Hehe ...my daughters would probably argue the cool part.

2 daughters and a son with a rotten 66 singlecab in the waiting room
