Yes, make SURE you use Ospho or metal ready or some kind of rust killer before you cover up or patch any rust, or else the rust will still grow. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Good work... you've done a lot more so far than I've done on my car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I was thinking of the lack of gloves.


I always wear gloves now because I made a mistake one day and ground part of my middle finder off with a wire wheel. I'm only 17 BTW, so now offense.

I like the metal work, just make sure you are cutting out the rust until you hit good metal. I found that the patch plates I made always ended up being bigger that I originally though because of the hidden rust. Kepp up the good work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Also, if you don't have one already, I would suggest getting an anvil, it made my metal fabbing so much easier.

Sorry to disappoint you, but those are the stock fuel lines. The front 2 ft or so of the lines are metal, transitioning to plastic.

Hi,
good work. Nice to see that young people also love this old beauty´s.

Cutting out the rusted pieces: be sure you go far enough, so you can weld your nice fabricated patches to solid metal. Otherwise you won´t be very happy. Guess how i know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

maybe you find this helpfull:

My Restoration Thread

Keep on your nice work, hope you can drive the car soon.

Barry, your enthusiasm is unreal, and you have a great eye buddy.

I had a great time this morning. When you get all your project stuff out of the way, I'll let you show me how to fix all my problems..

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) YAY!

Offer still stands if you want to drive my car around some.
