McMark took some time out of his busy schedule to fly to CA and help me get my /6 rolling.
It will be traveling to Original Customs in Michigan soon to begin its transformation into a running and driving car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Continuing prep for putting the car up on the Celette bench. Trying to remove as much 'bad' metal as I can now. I had wanted to put off media blasting the car, but now I'm thinking it might be better to go ahead and get it done now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I opened up the PS rear fender because of the rust holes, and I think I'm going to open up all the areas that rust from the seam sealer/foam. It's the best way to get all that crap out, and chances are they're rusty on the back side, so if they're not showing now, they will in the future. Nows the time to nip it in the bud.   Also removed the rear section of the front PS fender. The door pillar is tweaked and rusted. So I'll need to replace that. I had a spare panel for that, but it must have gotten tossed in the move. Anyone have a PS door pillar or a car they're cutting up?   |
