Knowing what I know now, I'd D/A the hell out of the strut toweres, and prime them in an etching primer, then cut away the disposable part of the existing fender aprons.Then Cleco in the above panels until I got them to fit as good as I could. Then I'd paint the towers, prime and paint the inserts, and rivet them btches on there.[/QUOTE]
Awesome....are you free 2 weeks from this weekend! @CarMichael Angelo?
One reason the car has sat for 2 years is I got remarried and have had a bunch of (as the government would say) deferred maintenance on my house I have had to get done.
The 2nd is I know to get this thing right, most of the underhood wiring is jacked up. Either my POS rush/temp job or old cracked and crumbling . I don't mind wiring...it doesn't scare me. It's just tedious, especially to make it look good and hide it, but not make it nightmare to service. (Like put the solenoid, fuses and relays inside the fenders) I think I am going to go with just a quickie black paint job now and get the wiring done.
I have come to the conclusion I will just sell the 302 complete from intake to headers to raise funds for the heads for the 351. When I get it sold and yank it out, I may, at that time, do the JB Weld filler. Plus, I bought 100 rivnut inserts and I haven't used enough of them yet.
I'd probably spring for the frame rail covers. That is just a good place for stuff to fall down into and either rust out the frame or lose nuts and bolts.
