Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
Well, I chiseled out my old rusty passenger side engine shelf today. I told my friend Tommy (another board member) that I was giving up, leaving it as it, and priming my engine compartment Sunday.
Tommy, I didn't have the heart to do it...... But, I came home and chiseled out the old rusted shelf. So this weekend (at the latest, maybe sooner) we'll be seeing if I can still weld! My new shelf from Restoration designs is so pretty. I hope I don't blow holes in it! Then there is the new battery box and support. Pretty.....Now the old battery box is a homemade abomination from the PO. It has to go. There is also a not so pretty, but structurally sound Hell Hole repair from the PO. I'll be cleaning that up a bit as well....you know....while I'm there! Anyway, weld it let it cool, grind it, prime it, and paint it this weekend is what my plans are! At any rate, I've got a mild case of DWD....but I can't leave RUST! I CAN'T DO IT! heh..heh...

I am just about to start the removal of my hell hole rust and bad battery tray etc. I have accumulated the parts but have honestly been hesitant.
Thanks For the pics guys! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I feel more confident having seen your work to procede w/ mine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) I have a Lincoln Electric welder ARgon / wire fed. Just wondering the settings. What metal gauges or " thicknesses should I practice w/ before hitting the repair? thanks a bunch. PETE |
