Day 46 - Oops... no welding pictures

Yesterday there was a a lot of things going on. I was busy babysitting, and Mike managed to only get pictures of what he was working on. So sadly there are no pictures of the welding that took place, but Mikes dad worked on the passenger side rear fender and getting those spots welded. I will have to see if I can go out and get pictures of at least the finished project.

In the meantime, Mike worked on getting pieces of the car ready to go to the sandblasters on Friday. He took the brakes off of the rear differential to get it ready.

He also took the guts out of the passenger side door.

So Friday he will take the rear differential, the two doors, the two front fenders, and the trunk lid to be sand blasted. That way we will be ready for the car to go to the painters after all the welding and grinding is done.

On a sad note, it was deemed that my original hood is beyond repair. Mike took off the trim on the front of the hood to find it was all rusted out underneath it. So we already have a replacement hood but were hoping that we could fix the original. That is a negative. I am rather bummed the original hood wont go back on the car, but beyond the rust it was bent down on the front tip as well. We are still trying to be able to save any original parts possible, but some things are just too far gone to save.
