Re: My winter project
I needed to free up some space before I start working on the doors. The motor is in and FYI install power steering bracket and trans line clip before you find out as I did and pull motor again.

Re: My winter project
Casey, your right needed to download phone pictures hope they work. Here is a small update. I completed the engine bay AC stuff and still working on under dash things. I repaired the cut radio hole, I got an aftermarket speaker because that will need to go in first or never get it in, dash pad, middle AC vent and ducting work my way down and out. I had a paint shop mix GM 521 to factory spec. and put in spray can application I'll post when I get the dash painted.
7D2N sorry for sideways pics can some one helpme turn them.

I didnt remove the needles, if you noticed the aluminum foil in the photo I cut small slots and slid it under the needles and pressed in place and used a brush on reflective needle paint.

Re: My winter project
I had some sandblasting done on my doors and fenders, does anyone know how should I prep the surfaces until I can repair?
Thanks. 7D2N

Re: My winter project
Started working on the doors and they need some patches. Any tips or advice on welding this together, butt weld, lap weld?
Thanks 7D2N

Re: My winter project
I'm fitting the patch panels on the doors, checking the fit and alinement before I cut for welding.
