Right on! I don't beat my self up when I find something like that, I am just happy I did!

I was side tracked by an old friend coming by. My oldest living car buddy, we rode our mini bikes together. Only guy I have ever been in a car with at 120+

So I figured my five minutes was gone, nope, I got there and ended up spending an hour or more. I got all the hidden areas coated with Ospho where I will be spraying some epoxy primer and getting the last few metal pieces welded in to cover it up. I made a neat sprayer out of a regular spray bottle, went to the hardware store and got a few feet of clear rubber hose that fit the sprayer head perfect. It was a piece of cake to get down in all the hard to reach places, damn I'm smart.

But I got it done, a bit of sanding and I will spray it with epoxy primer, probably Saturday morning.
