Subject:      91 side panels from hell

During the process of puchasing my van, the owner was adding on 91 bumpers
and side panels. I did not stop him because I did not realize that they
would turn out
 the way they did. They were riveted on a little inaccurately. My Bilstein
jack would
not fit in properly. In addition, the space between the side pannels and
the paint was getting coated with grit. The van has no rust now; but the
rusting process was in full swing with the panels.
I not so systematicaly pulled all side panels off. What is left over is
rivet holes everywhere. They will get covered with GOOP until I find the
appropriate time
to tell my wife that it needs paint $$$. We just finnished paying $6500 for
it. That
does not include insurance and all the little modifications that the van is
receiving.
Gotta blow off some steam here.
If anyone wants side panels that are in need of minor fiberglss work, let
me know.
