Nice work they should last another 45 years.

Nice chief!!!

was wondering what you were doing,

The project is really lookin good.And the welds on the iner fender's will prob. work great.It's hard to the mig too lay down perfect after the panel has had that must rust on it for that long.It easy to get the perfect spot weld on a super clean rust free panel.You are doin an awesome job.Way more then most folk's would to the trouble to DO!!!!!!!!!.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Been slowly looking through your thread. Love it. Especially this picture. Is that a glove in there?

Maaaaan, you had your work cut out for you Michael. Good thing you got your sheetmetal skills down. Great work and documentation... You do it my style. Speek with pictures. :thumbsup:

Keep it up.
Brett

Thanks
 

Thanks .... hope so! Not sure if I want to be around in another 45 years thou.

Thanks Steve ... been on the road, Fish Biologists belong in the field!!!!

Thanks for noticing .... just gotta do it right! I wish I was welding on a rust free panel, if it were easy everyone would do it :hail:

Thanks Brett ... I have been keeping track of your interactive thread, not sure I'm ready to make new wheel wells now but maybe in the future. I'll keep watching .... you are definitely in your own league, good job :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That is a sock that was in the driver's rocker ... dunno!

I like pictures too :thumbsup:

Thanks ...
Michael

Good day!
 

Made some progress in the garage today, spent most of the day prepping the side cowls and the inner fender wells for epoxy primer, and when the temp cooled off I spray all the panels :thumbsup:

Had a slight delay first thing this morning ... I had a flat on the cart, huh? Those Chinaman can't make a caster last more than 3 months? But a new one and swap out the tire and I'm good.

This is the pile of parts I got done today!

So .... spent eight hours prepping the parts and two spraying with epoxy, sounds about right. One more thing to cross off the list, now I can get to installing the side cowls and work on the firewall panel.

That's another day thou .... see ya!

9/8 Update
 

Not too exciting but I had to patch these holes in the rocker panel cuz GM never did .... I don't want water running down and getting into the rocker :thumbsup:

I still have to make a patch for the very front of the rocker just ahead of the patch I welded in ... it's always something :unibrow: Then start on the other side, yeah!
