| Started working on the worst part of the body today... Cut out all of the nasty bits and removed the heater channel bottom plate from the o/s to check inside for corrosion...  I needed to remove the last 2" of the channel so fabbed up a new heater channel end...  And then welded it back in...  Thats all for today.
