Yowser! Well you almost got it all buttoned up. You'll be driving this summer right?

I don't know about this summer, my job (Fisheries Biologist) has me out and about most of the summer, that's why I'm hitting her hard during the winter. I expect next summer would be a good goal

Bummer!

Yeah, but I'd rather have a job and take a couple years to finish than the other choice

Little at a time and then you're done

Nothing now! I should have known the drivers side rocker was gonna be in the same shape as the passenger side, after cleaning with a fiber disc I found a pin hole and sure enough pushed a screwdriver through it So I cut off the outside rocker panel to inspect and I found a bunch of mouse related stuff that took awhile to get outa the rocker. (I think there was a sock from the 70's in there )
So ... I'm waiting on the part from AMD to replace the same patch that I did on the passenger side, should go faster the second time around, right?


Rusted inner rocker!

Little POR15 and she'll be better than new!

Have you looked inside your rocker panel?

My side cowl panel came in yesterday, think I'll mock them up and see how they fit and what mods I need to make them fit.
Later,
Michael

Now we know where the missing socks always ends up

Ain't that the truth, but how?
I got a rough cut done to the inner rocker tonight, waiting on parts now. Then I mocked the cowl and both side cowls in place ... they need a little work to meet my specs. My dash looked outa place with all that black sheet metal, so ... I broke out the DeWalt and the fiber disc and cleaned all the paint off the front, supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow so I'll get some epoxy primer on it.

Rough cut the inner cowl.

Ready for epoxy primer, looks as good as the back now

Until next time,
Michael
