With as clean as Gramma car appeared, I am quite surprised it had such extensive rust back there--you gave a good reason/explanation though.
Thank you very much for the repair pictures, and if you get any more, maybe close-ups of the welded edges/seems, I'd like to see them for future reference.
Thanks for sharing Steve.
P.S. I think it's about time for you to post up a cruising video to give us a chance to see how well she drives.
