front trunk and one of the headlight buckets. Crappy weld never even got a good grip before it broke loose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But that's o.k. A gob of seam sealer will hold it together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

I also stripped most of the seam sealer out of the pass compartment, but fortunately found nothing under it to post. IMHO most of the rust issues here are a result of a 75% repair some time ago. the fit was good looking from the outside, but underneath the seam sealer we see there was a lack of REAL attention put into making things the way they were originally. Couple that with a lack of proper primer, and some half ass seam sealer, and you get uglies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

That is all. I'm going to try and get some etch primer on it tomorrow night or saturday morning so it doesn't start flash rusting on me. Then on to the cutting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Scotty: I noticed in a lot of the pictures the metal looks like it was sand blasted. I know you did not use sand so is it just the pictures? Is the metal smooth or is it pitted all over and porous?

Some of those pictures were pretty hard to look at. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I am hoping it is like when you see yourself on TV as we all know the camera adds 10 pounds to you. In some cases there may be 5 or 6 cameras on someone.....

However I am real pleased with what the car is from a starting point. I look forward to seeing lots of cutting, welding and grinding as the rusty metal is replaced with nice fresh metal.

Thanks for the pictures Scotty. I hope everyone is enjoying the detailed progress shots as it moves along towards its re-birth.

I see some threads where people mention they stripped their car to bare metal but amazingly you see the car old and rusty and then the next photos are all in primer - leaving out a crucial piece of the process as far as documentation goes. I am glad to see Scotty is documenting this build so well.

OK and on to the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Looks like a good start.

I can't wait to see the car finished and painted.

In its original gold.

It's just the close up making it look rough Michael. It's no where near as bad as it looks. All in all it is a really solid car, just some previous repair work that needs to be redone. I'm not saying it was crap work, but it was most likely late 70's / early 80's collision shop work. ALMOST right but not quite there.

Call me tomorrow around noon to discuss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You know, with the car down to the metal like that Scotty could gold leaf the whole thing.

Clean car by current standards. I noticed the late nose replacement does not have the holes cut out.

Michael, great thread, The front panel, while Scotty's cutting and welding, Are you going to either replace the late panel or cut and weld in the section to make it look like the OG panel. Get rid of the late bumper shock section ?

the holes will not be cut out. This was discussed a while back. They serve no purpose at this point other than providing another place for water to infiltrate

I bought it. It uses a mix of sand and water. The water keeps everything cool so it wil not warp the panels. Believe me it won't, I have tried. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) There is an addtive in the mix that prevents flash rusting for several days

I agree, the documentation is value added all around. Value for the sheer value of the car, value for the owner (and the rest of us) who get to watch it all happen and value for Scotty as he can not only show his excellent work to future clients but justify the expense at the end of the job.

This was manifest destiny (for me) as far as I am concerned.
