You would take the sharp edges off, but you would still see the lows below the sticker.

Sorry Chris, no real easy way out here.

Get it running, drive to Tulsa for a weekend and I'll fix it for you. See, simple solution.

Happy Birthday !

Looks like a little exhaust work going on. I've got that same battery charger. That thing has been working for almost 20 years.

Saturday was so Frickin’ cold,I couldn’t convince myself to lay on the concrete long.
Today was a little better. I didn’t make as much progress as I had hoped I would-but all the exhaust is off,driveshaft is out,starters out. Several bolts are loose,many parts are soaking in cleaner waiting to be scrubbed and painted. So all in all a successful weekend I guess .
When is the last time you saw so many Stock 5.0 parts lol
I’ve been following @VibrantRedGT ’s build thread,and after his talk about a leaking masterclyinder rotting out the inner fender area-I got to looking-
Looks like I’ll need to pick up another knotted wire wheel for the grinder ......

Until next time-this is how she sits

Holy hell, that might be worse than mine.

I'm still cleaning the area on mine. The firewall is fine of course but the area under the booster and K-Member is a mess.

Here is my damage for those who have not checked yours, it's very hard to see and can be missed.

This is going in it's place. A reman Cardone Booster I painted in Ceramic High Heat Black and new (not remain) master cylinder.

I'll take a pic of the mess that I cleaned up in the engine bay tonight.

I think every car platform reveals rust prone areas after a few decades. It looks like a lot of Foxes and SN-95 cars are experiencing frame rail/strut tower rust. I need to check mine.

In my cars defense-it’s mostly my fault. I Noticed the wet booster/gradually rusting over booster a long time ago.. But the first motor refresh and then the first two dead transmissions took precedence. I placed an order for a booster and master cylinder last night- so that’s gonna be one of the winter upgrades as well

Edit: I took that rusty inner fender pic after I smacked all over it with a hammer- though it looks terrible in the pic,it’s actually pretty solid (so far) so I’m hoping to just grind it down and cover it with a rust incapsulator type paint

I did-after I found the rot and before I hit it with a hammer lol. It really didn’t look like it was all they way through and the outside was solid and covered in factory coating. Next time I’m in the garage I’ll snag a pic...
What course of action should I take here Dave?
