not me, im working on another car. Thanks to my magical elves. This poor guy has been waiting to get in the shop for a year. :ohsnap:

You da man.

:RunninDog:

car is in the trust worthy hands of Myers media blasting in Oakland CA.

We are not doing a full body, just jams, full underside, full interior, trunk, firewall and cowl.

I managed to remove most of the rusty panels. Odds don't look so good for the floor pan.

Where in the Bay Area are you? I'm in San Jose I could bring the roadrunner by the shop

He is in San Mateo

San Carlos to be exact!

Bring it by, love to see it.

I'm here on the weekends too 11-7pm

Closed Monday's. Let's see a car thread.

back from media blasters...we ended up doing the whole car. Not as bad as I thought. A few body shop repairs and the only fiberglass was in the floor.

Its funny that with all the trouble they went through to fudge it it would have been easier to just do it right. The filler panel for instance. A filler requires some grinding and about 40 spot welds with minimal filler. Its an easy job.

They chose to to strip it....30+ tacks and a ton of filler. Same with the quarter.
:headscratch:

So much for buying a rust free, body ready, starter project..... :twak: :twak:

if I only had a dollar for each time I heard that....oh wait I did. LOL

:G-Dub:
I'll start working on the frame next week. At least that is prestine!!

Rathi Chevelle...Firewall
 

So now that the body is inspected we can start filling in the blanks. Plan is to repair the rear filler, package tray, dash and firewall then we can start building the floor. We decided we will be going all fabricated pieces instead of a replacement part since most will be modified, including the tunnel.

Got my new apprentice (meet Joker) to head up this part of the project. So far so good.

Using the old firewall that was removed and tape in the right spots to make a template for the new 16 gauge piece.
