Ahhh, sills, schmills!
Everything has rust in the sills.
Get her rolling and enjoy!

I've heard that.
One guy in the US begins restos by cutting off the belly pans.
None of this "They might be fine"; just the "Fire up the grinder, lads!"

Mmmm, not really ANYTHING like my '55, actually.
Mine has a STACK of rust to replace. :(
The sills on mine are currently mythical creatures. :x
But if you mean the paint and panel, yep.
I just can't be bothered smoothing it all out and prettying it up when I'm going to put A/T or M/T tyres on it and bump around paddocks and the hill country in it.
The aim is function over form.
Just wish it had the spottie on the roof like Muller's "Shooters Bus". :mrgreen:

Ahh, well then, I get your meaning.
And yeah, splitties are addictive.
You know they're expensive and at times bad for your health but you can't give em up! :mrgreen:
