Hello,
A member of this forum named Tom Bliznik insisted that we put the restoration of one of our customers cars on the forum. The car was stripped down to metal, patched and painted at a body shop that we have known for a long time and trust their work. We had done something we consider a very important longevity upgrade to his floor pans first. We sanded the floorpans down to metal with a flap wheel and patched any weak areas. We let it sit until a light coat of rust had set in and painted the floor with POR-15. This does an excellent job of preventing future rust, we are BIG fans of POR-15 here at Munk's! After that we cut out fiberglass cloth and epoxy it in. This is for stiffening the floor pan more than anything and gives the car a more solid feeling to the driver and passenger. I'm going to post a link to for the "before" pictures at photo bucket since we have so many. http://s660.photobucket.com/user/Munksmoto...rt=3&page=1 |

Looks just like my 76. Nice work. Where in MI are you?
