Ok, Today at sklines garage we explore repairing the hell hole in a slightly rusty car. As some of you know, Mark Bland (Engman) has been working on a new Hell Hole repair kit. This is my redition of removing the rust and installing this kit. My first step is to remove the battery tray and support. I did so with my trusty $5.00 air chisel. The next step in to clean the area as good as you can and remove as much loose rust and get down to a point that you can weld. Next I will be fitting the kit into place for fittment. I will be posting pictures as I go. I just started and at this point, I have removed the battery tray and cleaned the hole out. Now I am going to fit the kit into place to see how it fits. Aaron has beent he photographer so dont blame me for bad pictures. If I have any question about it I will take some also. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Off to work now, I will post the pictures later.

Outfitted for sandblasting looks like a SoCal Darth Vadar (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) . This is going in the direction of classic status. Thanks Scott

This is the kit as packaged by Mark, looks cool. He seems to be quite the engineer even in his packaging.

Better than a saws-All with a flexable blade?
remove the rust with what? An air chisel, cup brush?
Sandblaster?

Actually, the kit doesnt replace that channel where the rubber goes, it gets welded on top of that. The rubber of course will have to be removed and replaced as it will melt from welding and this car is getting a V8 conversion so it will not be replaced. I tried to remove the old rubber but it wouldnt budge so I figure it will get nice and soft when I weld that piece in and be much more pliable when I am done. I didnt get it finished last night but will try to get it done today. This car was not very rusted and the kit is designed to repair a more seriously rusted car so I had to do some trimming to get some of the pieces to fit in. This is the first one I have done so in my opinion it is not as clean as it could have been, I am still learing what I should do with each piece as I go and figuring out that I should have done a few things differently. It's a learning curve. Alberto has one that is more in line for what this kit was made for and I am sure it will come out much nicer than this one. After I started welding in the piece on the side to cover the tray area, I realized the metal wouldnt really shape the way I wanted it to as I had already welded in where it would need to flex. So I had to cut a slit in it and then beat it into place and then weld around the cut. Fortunately the metal behind was still very strong and didnt need to be repaired. You will see what I mean. This is welded in but only tacked in a few place, I will finish it later today.
