    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    I would blast those areas and epoxy, for some reason I am doubting the quality of that black coating. What sucks are the internal areas that you cannot get to, but it would be worth it to drill some holes and try to bomb the insides. It's weird how it looks like a wire welder was used, that...

    Welds rusting

    "I did not use Epoxy"...I think thats the issue, no real sealer over the metal. I spray epoxy on everything and bodywork on top of that. To fix it I would remove the glass and take it down to the steel again and see how bad it is, maybe you can just grind, Epoxy, and repair.

    My first time welding and patching...

    Part of the trick is knowing when you have cut out enough of the bad metal and are into the solid stuff that welds well. And be sure to make the area CLEAN before welding. Flux core can help with some contaminated metals, but in reality you want the metal to be strong, even thickness and clean!

    Inner wheelhouse replacement

    I would also add that the repop wheelhouse parts are not exactly like the 65 cars, they dont make them without the spare tire dimple and the other stamped ribs are not the same either, so matching is a bear.

    Inner wheelhouse replacement

    Thats how my project started, this is what it looked like until I started to remove goo..not bad , but the wheelhouse was bad on both ends, and the drivers side was just to far gone and the rust had eaten enough of the transition panel to talk me into replacing it. Then I ended up...

    Inner wheelhouse replacement

    The worst part is separating the halves. Some guys just slice it off at the flange where the two halves join, then sandwich the old flange in between the two halves. I did my entire wheelhouse on the drivers sides and it really did a number on the wheel well lip on the QP.

    Are you certain the water pump is set up for the correct rotation? If it is off of a 5.0 it is running backwards.

    How to Pick a Modern Suspension?

    Google "Fays Watts Link" and see what you can learn. I would look at that before I would attempt a rear sway bar on the street. Then call John at Opentrackerracing.com
