I was prepping a post and the lights went out! The site went down. It's like running out of MIG gas!

(Preview of next weeks board meeting:o)

Rt fender off. I new I had some rust at the top by the cowl. Not as bad as I expected. Fender was removed as a skin leaving the cowl extension intact.

The upper cowl extension will get cut out and replaced. Easy piece to fabricate.
I swear that piece was designed for Dzus fasteners!

The cowl itself is ok at the horizontal area but the side will need some new metal.
I used the Wurth "flail" to remove the sealer and take it down to bare iron.
The rear of the wheelhouse is fine no rust. The front of the rocker/ hinge pillar will need a closing plate fabricated. All in a days work.

A really good product I have used for years is Jasco metal etch. It's a little different than metal ready. 1st its more agressive and only has to sit about 10 minutes (the instructions says 1 minute and rinse) versus some other products out there. It is very cheap in comparison to others and I think does a better job overall because it is full strength. (3/1, 2/1 with H20 or full strength as I use it right out of the bottle)

This is an excellent etching product. What it does not do ......It is not a conversion coating as it has no zinc or phosphate. If you are repairing and going directly to epoxy primer Jasco is a great product. If you are leaving metal exposed for a period you may get some flash and probably should use a zinc conversion coating even on good clean steel.

I am not fond of conversion coatings because rust is rust no matter what color it turns.

Cut the dead wood out of the cowl and cowl side extension.

Metal added was done in two pieces as the cowl has a step in it below the fender line. First piece in and then second piece on top just below. The weld becomes the step (really doesnt do anything)

Shaping this area is a tight squeeze in the bends. The front corner of the cowl has a little rust and I will do that separately with the hood off.

Make a template for the old rusty cowl extension. This is the top curved piece. The closing plate will be made last once everything is fitted.

Rough fitting the upper curved extension. Needs a little tweaking at the rear and a flange added.

Until Next time!

It started raining while I was shooting primer. Not good! Had to sit there with a heat gun to force dry the epoxy primer. Car is covered just do not like to introduce moisture to the equation.

So, does water drain from the front hood seal trough out through the cowl/fender gap? While looking at mine I wondered if that cowl/fender gap was for water to escape when driving full speed.
