More great work, Fred. And glad to see someone else trying the front jack point floor reinforcements. But even with those, I think we need to be careful.

QUOTE(Puebloswatcop @ Apr 28 2025, 07:40 AM)  Looking good Fred. Wish I could have been there to help you replace the fenders, unfortunatly I was a week early. QUOTE(bkrantz @ Apr 28 2025, 08:50 PM) More great work, Fred. And glad to see someone else trying the front jack point floor reinforcements. But even with those, I think we need to be careful. Thanks guys! Installing fenders is not the most exciting work by any means but having them back on is awesome. I had to take the opportunity to weld in those reinforcement plates, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) To do it right, I think you'd have to tie in the body edge with the donut, making a triangle. Well, what's been done is better than nothing, that's for sure. Onward! Next weekend might offer an opportunity to undercoat/paint the bottom. We've got rain forecasted on Wednesday & Friday. We'll see. |

QUOTE(trojanhorsepower @ Apr 30 2025, 06:54 AM) Looks great! Keep up the good work. Thanks man! Started with the bottom side sealant yesterday evening. Just got the inner front fender area and little around the rear suspension consoles so far. I didn't want to flip the car up on it's side yet since rain is on its way. I've got a ton of prep to do! Shout out to Chris ( @Aerostatwv )! Thanks for the offer but I found my pneumatic seam sealer gun yesterday. It was completely clogged full of sealant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif). Got it all cleaned out and ready to go!  |
