That's an awesome car and color! Can't wait to see it finished

What have you used to remove the surface rust? Just steel wool or also a chemical rust remover?
I've got a similar job ahead on my gas-tank |

Thanks for your response. That sounds like a decent method and I will certainly try it out.
Keep up the good work! |

Faked up some bullet fenders as my bullets fenders are trashed
Got my funky green heater channels and firewall sections
Welded in the firewall sections and test fit the heater channels. The fit perfect.

Got the passenger side in and door fits perfect.
Also was really wanting to see if I could save the front apron. Didn't want to use some cheap aftermarket one. Pretty happy with the results

Its Funny You Say That. The Primer Its VERY Thin As Is The.Paint. |
yup. on mine there even seems like there is no primer it is so thin. I have an impossible job of removing 2 horrible resprays and not burning through either the original few microns of paint and its 'primer' |

Did a little work today. Reinstalled the OG front apron. Welded in the driver side channels. Fixed the bottom side of the driver side door. Also had a gap on the driver side A pillar so had to bend up a new piece and weld it in. I had to bottle jack the piller at the windshield out a bit to get the door to swing. Something at some point in its life landed on it and pushed it in. Door swings nice and clear now
