Besides Roger said he would come and fix anything I mess up.

Did I say that? I must have been hallucinating.

Steve, just let me know when to come. I'm good at applying Bondo. Or I could just bring my texture hopper and then paint it with latex paint. That's what you do, isn't it?

Badbird said: I don't think you are afraid to tackle anything.

Actually I think it's more a case of ignorance is bliss. I would be afraid. Very afraid.

I usually just find a big shovel and a large trowel and go for it.
Problem is finding a large enough bucket "O" bondo to last.

Finally got to work on the delivery this weekend. Did not get a lot done but it was a time consuming job. I finally got the drivers floor pan in, it took a lot of fitment but I think it went in well. Next week, the passenger side.

Inch by inch... but it's looking pretty good there Steve. Are you going to put a floor hump in for a 4-speed? You may have said already...

Nice work Steve. You are coming along nicely.
I think Roger should show us his painting talents at the next tech day.

I am going with a AOD in this car, so I will be filling up that hole soon. When I get the floors done I will get them sprayed with that metal sray that my friend does. I will let you know how that goes.!!

I can lay down the semi-flat black along with the best of them.

How are you with metal stretching? I learned that valuable lesson of measure six f*#@ing times and cut once. I have a bit of a gap to fix on the passanger floor. Oh well, not a big deal just more work and a lesson learned. Other than that it went well. As soon as I fix the gaps it is on to the back of the car. It is soooo cool to get new parts into the car and see some progress. SO all you guys that are working on yours do not dismay it will all come together in the end. Enjoy the pics and laugh all you want. i know I goofed. Later Steve.

P.S. Sorry for the crapy pics. My flash wasn't cooperating this morning.

Just doing some long term planning here...After you de-rusted inside the cowl area- how do you paint/protect everything in the area under the cowl and then still be able to weld it back together?

[doghows]

I powder coated all the pieces with epoxy primer first. I taped off the areas where the spot welds went but shot them with weld through primer before welding it all back together.

Who did you order it from? don't they have one in stock or do they have to make one for each order...china comes to mind, just got some roller rockers [ made in china ] and will be sending them back...jh

A hot shop had the best price on the unisteer one. I called them direct and they said they are building them. I asked why the eBay stores said 10 available 7 sold?? They had no answer I give up I requested a refund and will look at other options
