Here's the donor front clip after partial trimming. This was a gift from Mike Moorman. Thanks Mike! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ok, Here's the fender I repaired this weekend. Seriously deformed light opening. It took about 12 hours to bring this back inline.

Here's what I'm talking about. The whole fender was twisted outward as shown on the earlier photos of the hood to fender gap.

After some serious twisting and hammering this is the end result.

I'm not ready to reattach the front panel yet but this is the spot welder I'm really stoked to fire up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is that Lenco one of the older " green box" units? I know of one in the back of a local shop I might try to get if I can get the attatchments like you have for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Yep, A green 3000A. I snagged it off Ebay cheap. The attachment I have is a L-950. It requires an adaptor kit to work with the older welder but it's totally worth it. I think L-950 was around 650.00 including the kit.

I started sand blsting the surface rust in the engine bay yesterday but it was so hot and humid my moisture filter was soaked through in about 20 minutes. But here is the reason I wanted this car.

The only holes are in the battery tray and the base of the rear bulkhead where the sound deadening pad was glued to it.

We have all seen this bulkhead rust before but not usually so little. There is a hole in each lower side of the bulk head in the usuall place that is the size of the end of an ink pen.

Finshed blasting. I removed the battery tray. I wasn't satified with the results I was getting with tray in place. I still need to condition/convert the metal before priming.

I went to the paint store today. I use DuPont and have used it all the years I have been working on cars. L65K is only available in Imron which is an old finish mostly used for fleet trucks. I brought the bent hood in with me to have it scanned. I'm having the paint mixed in Chroma One which is a very durable, workable, buffable and repairable finish. I asked for a pint to see how well the color will match once sprayed. The scanned formula didn't look right. I will need to correct it for a proper match.

Are you sitting down? $ 140.00 a pint

Not surprising. The L80E for Jims car was 115.00 a pint for base. The only formulas the paint shop had for it was either Spies or Glasurit. I'm going to get it scanned so next time I can get it in Chromabase. That should save about 100.00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Started getting things in order for next weekend. With any luck I will have this enigne back together and ready to install when the North Star Crew come to the Bolts and BBQ event here at Area51Werks.

Did a leak down but I couldn't get better than 40 on #4. Funny cause when I pulled the heads and cleaned them up I tested the seats with solvent and no valves were leaking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
