Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Now the fun starts. Some major rust removal was needed in prep for building a fuel cell cage and access for performing the mini tub. Not that the stock fuel tank couldn'’t be made to work with the forthcoming tri 4 link rear but it severely restricted routing for an over the axle exhaust which was going to be a royal pain in the rump with the new rear suspension already. Time to break out the “Cleaver” and get busy. There’s no need for finesse at this point. Unfortunately the rot in the floor pan went all the way to the tail panel so the resulting sheet metal work just got a bit more involved.
