As things are progressing.
I unpacked the brake master cylinder floorboard area I bought from Bruce.

Looks really nice. I'm thinking it might be my first real part to get washed in the parts washer.

Waiting for it to warm up enough so I can leave the soap solution in it without worrying about freezing.

Finally broke down and bought my new Millermatic 180.
This is a milestone purchase for me. I've been wanting one for a long time.
But my 15 year old 90 amp Craftsmen 115v just wouldn't wear out.

Here she is right out of the box.

I still don't get the flash rust deal.
I strip these parts with a sand blaster and I don't get the flash rust everyone is talking about.
At least I don't think I do.
There's a little on the fenders. Both they've been bare metal for a couple years.

Some days here in PDX its 100% humidity.

It's there. Don't trust your eyes.

Use a metal ready or similar to protect it between work sessions.

Here's the inner fender to long welds.

Attached Image

Mine are the two bottom ones.
1/2 plug, 1/2 tack. I don't want the bitch moving.

Super In Law got a little carried away on his.
By the end of this project I'll either be a master welder or a master grinder.

Things are looking up ..............

We patched the bottom of the drivers wheelhouse. The spot under the rear floor jack point. Super In Law had a little trouble trying to get the puddle to move without blowing holes in it.
I'll try and do some more work on the right side ................
Both sides are new metal. Don't know exactly what the problem was.
I think he's out too far with the wire.

Attached Image

Inside is just about prepped for the inner box.

I've been following along, glad to see someone going deeper into a 914 than I have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Just remember the replacement panels are galvanized - best to sand it off anywhere you're going to weld.
