Rust repair (kinda) pic
At some time in its' life my 1009 had a battery leak down onto the inner fender well and rot about a 6"X8" hole. I'm not one to call NPD or LMC and order new metal when 95% of this one is still good. SO....I cut and ground out the bad rust, primed the area, and cut, formed, bent, bolted, and riveted a patch in place from underneath. Chip Foose would slap me in the back of my head if he saw this, but it works and the rust is gone! If anyone stoops over and says "hey, there's a cheesy looking patch under there", then they're looking too closely at my daily driver. Going to pick up a really straight and rust free (white) hood tomorrow. Mine must've had a SCUD land on it. (Had to be a SCUD 'cause it didn't explode, just bent the crap out of it). Also, I FINALLY got power run to the Shattered Socket Garage!! Woo Hoo !!! I've been using an extension cord from the house for 3 years. Now I can see very well how unorganized I am! Gotta clean that place up!
.........more to come.
