when will it get warmer









Well thought I would dig around a bit since it was almost 40 degrees out
cut the rust eaten fender trumpet, a few rusted areas that will be patched and started to clean up the rocker / sill area
low and behold more foam further down the sill!
the previous owner to the previous owner must have had stock in this foam
looks like this side will clean up nice
notice the black primer is still intact on the castle rail .... nice but everything is still going to get coated in SEM Rust shield
need to order one more repair piece from TRF and I will be set to start sticking things back together
REP122 and a set of front wheel tubs

feb update

finished the drivers side metal work, but did not hang the fender as of yet
did the cutting a grinding on the passenger side and pulled out about a pound of Squirrel crap and acorn shells from the fender support trumpet
need to warm up a bit to go further, I think I was starting to get frost bite in my garage from the air tool exhaust

soooooo cold, I set up my lathe but did not even clean the red packing grease off
decided on a paint color!
Drum roll
