After laying on cold concrete for several hours in a 45F garage, I'm feeling it today. So, there will be no work on the other rocker and running board today. My hands feel like I smacked them with a hammer, and my back and I are not on speaking terms.

Here are a couple of things to add to yesterday:

- I pulled the V-shaped dent out of the bottom of the door where it had been striking the custom fenders for several years. I am sure the other side will need the same attention.

- On both sides, I will need to fabricate and replace the bottom 4-6 inches of the body in the area between the B-Pillar and the rear wheel arch. I've been told that is a common rust area on these convertibles, and mine is pretty rotten in those areas. Those areas are not much different than the rear fender patches I had to make on the '54, so I am not too worried about making those. Remaking the bottom flange structure will probably be the most challenging as those are rotted away.
