As long as it drives better then the toter you should be fine.

LOL :D

My concern from the get go was ride comfort not performance handling. I was assuming the Afco valving & seals wouldn't be as plush in the initial stroke as the Penske. Whatever works to minimize further compression of the discs in his spine is a win. :D

Is this a build thread? :headspin:

I've done my share of rust recovery, but have always been curious about these old hulks that are covered with surface (and more) rust. It seems to me by the time you blast that door you're going to thin the metal a ton as well as create lots of swiss cheese in places. I realize the old iron had much thicker steel than what I'm used to, but its always been hard for me to believe those old rust buckets are useful for much more than a template to roll new metal.

Is a door like that really recoverable with just a good media blast and a few patches ?

Ever hear of BONDO?? They spread it all over everything and then use a cheese grater on it.


Frankly -- I've thought the same thing Preston. But I think the paint holds everything together.

AKA -- "Shrinkage"

Just as long as you remember that I stay in my trailer all weekend out at the track -- and yours is usually parked right along side mine... but you're gone... and I'm not... and it's a very long night. :catfight:

That's OK. You can't reach the door knob on my trailer.

Preston it's hard to tell from the pictures but Midwest rust is totally different than west coast rust. It's a dry rust, if that makes sense. I've bought a few cars from an old man in Wenatchee that looked a lot like these pictures, more like a heavy surface rust than a dig in and eat away rust.

I've gotta think that Eric at Pinkee's knows what he's getting into, hopefully one of these days we'll see progress.:BlahBlah:
