Got a load of parts back from media blasting today. Now I can start putting it back together.

I tied the doors together so they only blast the jams and inside and don't warp the skins. I will strip the skins with Aircraft stripper.

a PO had crudely punched/torn a hole in the inner fender to run lines.

I knew those two green doors would go to a good cause. Nice to see they will be on a six.

I made this punch that screws into the Jig. Once the long is welded in place, with a lite tap on the suspension consol, It will leave a dimple and I will have perfect center for boring the hole that the suspension arm mounts to. I'll drill the hole once the car is on the rotisory.

looking good!
BTW the inner rocker cover you have is incorrect for an early (70-72) car

This is the correct part

If you end up needing that outer panel I have the correct section. Just needs blasting

Ah Ha! I see. This part came off the 73 Donor. Thanks for catching that and letting me know. I would have probably noticed...after I welded it on.

I'll PM you about the peice/section that you have.

Thanks again.

Got the front corner clip and inner long tacked in place. I blasted then coated the areas with brush on weld through primer. As it is heated when welding, it melts and coats the weld area to protect it. All these areas will also be sprayed with a primer once the car is completed using internal frame coating spray.

So, Restoration Design only makes the inner rocker panel (left) for the late cars? Their part has the two curved bump outs:
