I hear ya Dave . Maybe one day .. Do you think I could buff/polish the ridges smooth?

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.

Had a little help getting the garage cleaned up so I can blow the car apart

That is a vicious looking painter there, be careful he may bite!

Yep, as long as I had dimensions of things, I could make it so it was all solid. I could also send you a couple of scrap pieces you could put down (and then peel back off later) to see if you would get any ghost images or not.

Can you do the 1970 Mercury Cylone set I've pictured on my page?

I may need a new picture to refresh my memory, but I'm sure i could make it happen. Would just need a straight on picture of whatever i'm recreating, and some measurements

My birthday was Thursday,my job let’s you take your birthday off either on or around it with pay.This is my weekend off,with an extra off day-so things are happening today

Davedacarpainter · Nov 10, 2018

Woohoo!

90sickfox · Nov 10, 2018

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.

RaggedGT · Nov 10, 2018

Made some decent progress so far-it’s pretty cold out today-so I’m in the house thawing our for a bit .

Davedacarpainter · Nov 10, 2018

Oh yeah, happy birthday btw Chris.

General karthief · Nov 10, 2018

Dig'n the West Coast Choppers sticker! Jesse James ftw!
Oh, and the car is getting there, really need to get this garage thing done so I can work on my cobra intake!

RaggedGT · Nov 11, 2018

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

95BlueStallion · Nov 11, 2018

Nice job digging in. It does suck when its cold, I second that. Sucks about that spot under your MC. Might have a little bit of work to do there.

VibrantRedGT · Nov 12, 2018

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.

RaggedGT · Nov 12, 2018

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

a91what · Nov 12, 2018

ouch that looks like its not going to be an easy fix.

General karthief · Nov 12, 2018

Pull the inner fender panel and treat the back side too.

Might want to just take a look at the other side just to check ............

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?
