Hey that's classic! Yeah the adhesive is messy and I must have gone through 12 pairs of gloves and half a roll of shop towels but it's done right!!!

Here is another alternative if you need a stud. I am mounting these under the dash so I can hang my harness.

Nice. I've used t-bolts w/epoxy on them in the past. I wondered if something was commercially available. Now I know....

Smile Update 2/18

Dang it's been cold here ... but managed to get some of this and some of that done. In no particular order ... installed my + battery cable pass through,

worked on my VA wiring harness, finished wiring the main power to the Entropy fan controller, dressed up the Dapper Lighting LED harness



, tore down the radiator fan assy. for powder coating,

installed my OEM door handles and measured the lock cylinder [AMD skins] for filing,

and oh yeah, installed the repro hood hinges .... that's it for now!



Thanks for looking ...

Thanks, buddy, I'm trying my best!



Been some time since I updated this thread ... been doing this and that when the temperature cooperates, which has been difficult this winter. My hand surgery has been pushed out til ... who knows when, so I just keep on keeping on and do what I can with what I can.

The pandemic has Aurora going crazy, not to worry though, got food and TP so get to work on the car when I can get the temps up ... supposed to get more snow Friday, grrr ...

So where were we, oh yeah, I ordered a Wolf Fab 4.5" shrinking disc to get the fender patch back to original contours. It seems no matter how careful you welding are there is still going to be some distortion and this shrinking disc is the cat's pajamas.

Had a crown in the fender patch as seen below



with about ten passes with the disc the fender is mo better ....



It does take some time to shrink the metal but wow what a difference







Since I was doing some body filler I figured I might as well do some other low spots that needed attention, man this body work is hard work and messy but anyway this is what I get done so far ...








Oh yeah, I pushed the car to access the passenger side and dented the quarter panel on the card table, so I had to fix that with a hammer and dolly and some filler ... the card table is NOT in the garage any more!




I did get a headlamp bucket recondition kit but the plastic inserts for the horizontal and vertical adjustment broke .... so I'll work on the front end and get the electrical all sorted out this week I hope.


Thanks for looking and keep being socially responsible ....
