So I grabbed a beer or 2 and started getting to it.I started with this<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/v/908755_10152684744115346_1782122416_n.jpg?oh=eb53041794bfa994ad562e819775d790&oe=5170D3FA&__gda__=1366397650_1c94626fba665125f3d28907b95a4221" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After removing the strut and taking the k-member bolts out, which came out like this <img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/v/909355_10152733550040346_1730248320_n.jpg?oh=4804d88b9c1faddc0d6e16da11dd40f0&oe=5170DAB6&__gda__=1366412432_276eb916d8804750875b06787ce361d2" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I cut the top of the plate off, which was 2 little pieces left<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/v/907488_10152733550185346_1485918336_n.jpg?oh=6b8afc14ca96d1016d7e40cc12dc3df3&oe=5170EACA&__gda__=1366429922_472d58193fda4b42455da0d7203541d0" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I started picking away at the rust with a pick and a pry bar. Now this is where i started to get a tear in my eye<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/913218_10152733629565346_1237736009_n.jpg?oh=d685b36c449a1f6c9f88bbf33689f838&oe=5170F32A&__gda__=1366418453_b04b33a2068c643a67f466709b8a6646" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/913112_10152733592550346_382149638_n.jpg?oh=dbf64ca18ad4f565b7466953bb89ddca&oe=5170EE19&__gda__=1366443517_5de4618cf460892a70b8060d07953198" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After some cutting some of the rust away and a couple beer breaks, this came out. I dont have all of it cut away, but its a good start.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/v/907179_10152733715095346_1324228716_n.jpg?oh=ea31c43b08df26c446e6f6394104b4da&oe=5170DB95&__gda__=1366430973_ae1c3caffed55645b6dc77e9864f4474" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now this is the first time doing any kind of body work, so any tips will help. Im trying to do it without removing the engine, just so it will last till next winter when I can pull the engine. I plan on putting some kind of flat stock on the inside of the "square part of the frame" for support and replacing the rest how it was. I know its not going to turn out perfect, but I am trying my best.</blockquote>
