Thought I'd update my progress. I did some welding and pretty much have it all wrapped up around the back glass. Just have to do the finish and paint but I won't be getting that done this season. Getting ready to put it back in storage for the winter, I have the glass in my office (Wife loves the new decoration ) I don't have a pic yet after all the welding was done but here are a few during work. Enjoy!

Here is after I got the rust cut out. Interior bracing I shot undercoat in until it dripped. Should slow down that problem area at least until I die LOL
