Re: sorta new

I started working on the front and rear valances. I stripped the front and ran into filler. I found several areas of bad repair attempts (pick, hammer, chisel) damage. As well as, several dents. I hammered and dollied the areas to the best of my ability. I also leaded over the spot weld dimples that...

Re: sorta new

I decided to de-rust the inside of the ribs on my hood. I snaked a couple of sections of sprinkler hose through the factory holes where I could. I then pumped Rust911 through for about a day. It worked pretty well. After rinsing and drying, I sprayed the inside of the ribs with Eastwoods Inner frame...

Re: sorta new

I drilled the holes for the hood pins a little larger after taking the above image.

Can anyone verify that these holes were 1” from the factory?


Thanks for looking!

Re: sorta new

Hi all, I finally finished gapping the panels and welding everything back up. On to getting my replacement hood and trunk drilled for pins and wing. My fender tag has both options. It appears I have a Go Wing that came with my car. I have no way of verifying that it is original or a PO stuck it on t...

Re: Why is no one ever posting here?

I check in every once in a while. I should check in more. I find it difficult to post images in threads compared to other sites I’m on. It would be nice to actually see images uploaded in your thread instead of the image file name - unless I’m doing it wrong. I like to write what’s going on in each ...

Re: sorta new

On to the front valance. I had to use a donor because my original was a dented, twisted piece of rubbish:
