I called three body shops to see when I can come for estimates on getting the dented fender fixed. Hopefully I can run it over there tomorrow then get those figures out to Jenn and then see what UPS tells us.

I also decided to not fix the one broken bolt that holds in the gas tank. I'll skip that and wait till she is running again.

marcolara · 10-08-2013, 12:35 AM

Dustless Blasted my frame and A-arms. Ready for paint tomorrow

quick60 · 10-08-2013, 09:35 AM

This is over a period of about a week and a half.

Pulled heater box to get to the core and found the box badly rusted inside. Ordered a new box and gasket set. Cleaned up the rust on the firewall, went through three different heater cores till I finally got one to match. Just got it all back together and now on to the radiator...finally.

VWNate1 · 10-08-2013, 05:01 PM

I wish I could post the photos og what " badly rusted " really is ~ my firewall has GAPING HOLES where you just cleaned it and shot some Rustoleum paint ~ wayyyy beyond repair mine is , yours looks terrific , good job ! .

I like the 6 - Banger too !

Pulled the Roch. 2G carb off my 283, dissassembled it, getting it ready for my first carb rebuild. Very crusty and needs a thorough cleaning. Need to get this truck running again.

VWNate1 · 10-09-2013, 08:18 AM

I called a few more places looking for someone who'll install a new windshield , this is crazy as Mercedes Benz Automobiles use grommets too up into the 1990's but no one wants to work on " old cars " what a buncha crap .

FrankieD · 10-09-2013, 12:40 PM

Sold it ! Was a sad event but it went to a young guy with the energy to put it on the road

quick60 · 10-09-2013, 02:58 PM

Patinad that was awsome!!!!! Sounded like one of those merlin aircraft engines!!!!!

VW Nate- The heater box internals were badly rusted, fortunately the firewall was surface rust. Yea Im diggin the 250 IL6. All my drag racing buddies are trying to convice me to drop a 327 or 350 in it..... LOL to no avail.

Frankie D whats your next project that you worked on today????

Number98 · 10-09-2013, 03:48 PM

Looking for the titls and finding all the spare parts ;-)

Me and the wife pulled out and trashed most of the interior. glad to see that shag carpet gone. Found only normal rust. But PO hacked up the tranny hump way more than I thought for a floor shift.
also removed the cowl and cleaned all the mud and leaves and sticks out of it. Glad to see no rust!
Pictures will come later.

VWNate1 · 10-10-2013, 08:07 PM

Got up at the buttcrack of dawn and ordered up a new AMERICAN MADE windshield grommet for my '69 C/10 , by the time it gets here I'll either have found someone who knows how to install it or I'll gird my grids and do my owndamnself .

flashed · 10-10-2013, 08:20 PM

I dreamed that the bodyshop called and said it was done and I drove it home but it was just a dream.

Just figuring out the process for getting UPS to fix their damage to my otherwise perfect fender.

sbell87 · 10-11-2013, 02:55 PM

Getting ready to shave a paint match engine bay

SCHRUMGMC · 10-11-2013, 03:12 PM

Hoping to start work soon, so I can start getting things I need for the truck

I plan on buying two New tires for the front..and saving up for front brakes and a Oil change

In The Ten Ring · 10-11-2013, 07:21 PM

Sbell87,

Spare tire on side? AWESOME! My 72 is like that. If you keep that fender, KUDOS, but if you want rid of it and it is rust free, drop me a line.

I got bored with working on a paper so I went out and ground a little on the 2nd cab bolt. I had forgotten my extension cord at my condo (worksite) so I tried to use my cordless drill. I didn't get far.
