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) ![]() |

You could try removing the top layer of pitted steel on top of the long. The steel underneath on mine was solid, so I cut a piece to replace the top, with a flange to attach to the upper wheelhouse. You've got a hunk of the inner layer missing (shaded area). I think it's thicker than the top sheet metal. I'd replace it then cover the top with a piece. I think the Engman kit uses 16 awg here so maybe it could work. If you cut the pieces and fit them well you could have someone weld it in. You'd want to clean around the areas to be welded as best you can; wire wheel, sanding wheel, media blast, whatever to get to bare clean steel. Engman kit could be big enough for upper wheelhouse. I used a RD piece that worked well.
