5/4 Update
 

Got to work on the cowl assembly tonite, filled the holes from removing the old corner pieces and drilled new holes similar to OEM, and then welded the POR'd corner pieces at the correct width (52 3/4") across the cowl.
Everything lines up well:thumbsup: :thumbsup: A little more work on the welds and then get some black POR15 .... but that's another day!

Thanks for looking

5/5 Update
 

Bolted the front fenders to the cowl to make sure everything lined up (still waiting on my side cowls before I weld anything to that cowl!) Then I decided that I would take the fenders down to metal while they were bolted to the body, I still need to DA them, so yesterday and today I that's what I did:unibrow:
I still need to get in the jambs with the fiber disc.... but overall she came out nice. This way when I am ready for epoxy primer I can do the whole car at once .... that's the plan anyhow.

Another day of sanding.

Thanks

Great Job.:thumbsup:

Starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel! Keep up the great work. :thumbsup:

Hard at it. What are you coating the bare metal with to keep it from flash rusting? I know CO has some humidity

Thanks
 

Thanks ... keep plugging away!

Thanks ... a light? That's oncoming traffic!! Again thanks.

No rust here ... I have not coated the metal in anything, the quarters have been bare since early April and the firewall has been almost 4 months. I am hoping to get some epoxy on her at the end of the month, Holiday?

Thanks

Garage update
 

Not too exciting today... just finishing the fenders and getting ready for epoxy primer, still have to do the fender extensions ... and POR the surface where the fender and the extension meet. Bad news for the header panel - RUST :( ... so put a NOS header panel on the list!

Scuffed the back side EDP for primer.

That's all for the weekend ... still getting something done when I can:thumbsup:
Thanks

Keep at it, its looking good.

you cant sand blast the inside of the header???

Thanks... :thumbsup:

If it were a single walled I would, but it is double walled on the ends and the middle ....and the rust would come right back to haunt me. So to play it safe get a new one.
