After many years of waiting, I finally have a permenant home and have my deuce too. It was delivered in March and I have been slowly working on getting her taken apart.

When I was driving her off the flatbed, she had a noticible miss, like the ignition was shutting itself off, so I stripped down the distributor assembly for a good inspection and cleaning.

The feed through capacitor's wire had been pinched at some point and caused an intermentant short. I was going to order a new one, but decided to try to solder a new lead on. It may not be pretty, but it's fixed.

I have the fenders removed, oh the songs of rusted bolts and busted captured nuts. I was able to get away with only cutting off one bolt head and one washer. The rust was bad, but the tar and shells from when the truck did civilian highway work was the worse. Had to chisel it out, but it did preserve the nuts underneath. Time to see how deep the rust goes. Some will say to just forget about the rust and get a new cab, but I need to fine tune my panel replacement welding so my VW Bug doesn't look as bad when its turn comes up.

Anyone have thoughts on what to coat the inside panels with before I start welding stuff back together?
