The car is ready for hammering out some of the dents.
Cleaned everything out and get some light on things.
Ok, maybe this isn’t what anyone would think of as clean, but it’s a start.
This is a good shot to show the side swipe to the front fender and side
Passenger rear fender from yet another car.
Heat channels were rock solid and the passenger door still fit the car well after the damage.
It would be nice if people would center holes in the dash when they cut them. That cigarette lighter hole is just a bit off I think.
The previous owner didn’t like the tachometer hole in the dash, and welded it the entire radio hole and cut-out closed! A radio would have been nice.
That looks a bit better with some primer on it.
The primer will give a better canvas to start my work with.
Looks like this project was put on hold for the Formula Firebird in the garage. I will do a page for that paint job on here as well at some point.
That apron is going to need some hammering.
Now, to smooth out all the little wrinkles left from the bodywork.
Smoothing out the side after hammering things back out.
Smoothing out the top.
The rear was real wavy and was hammered pretty good before applying the fill.
The whole rag top was a little low and need a small amount of mud around the whole perimeter.
There, that should make things look a little better.
The top has had the base bodywork done and all the spots were sprayed with primer.
This is the rust under the driver front fender toward the rear bottom of the fender.
First, to cut out the bad spot.
Now that this is out of the way . . .
. . . I can clean all the crud out that caused the problem, and there is the piece that was cut out.
The hole has been cleaned out and ready for rust-stop.
New piece fit for welding.
The rust hole has been repaired.
