Spring driving in Massachusetts is a few months away. So I decided to remove the motor and fix the hell-hole rust. I could be in way over my head. Here's what I've done so far. (several pics to follow) Can you guys show me exactly what I need to do next? How much more should I cut out? How much surface rust do I need to grind away? Some of hell-hole repair pictures I've seen posted show shiny metal on the longs and inner fender. I don't think I could every get mine like that. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Hey,
I am in Groton. Come by, ill walk you through it, or give me a call. do you have a welder? Do you have a grinder? Do you have a sand blaster? You will need a grinder and a welder minimum... Its two days work. Go to a local sheet metal shop and get some sheets of steel to replace what is cut out. Get some POR 15 and some metal ready primer (zinc primer) that you can weld through. Take off the rocker covers, get it up in the air high..on jack stands...and make sure your door gaps are good. The rest is cut/fit/cut/fit/cut/fit till its perfect. Choose now if you want concourse quality, or not... If you want it perfect, get the correct replacement parts from restoration design...used, or engman... Rich Rich |
