That looks great. How many can/s did you use? I'm thinking of doing my longs & rear suspension.

How well do you think this product would work using the stock openings?

I only drilled two small holes that will get welded up and I think it will work very well other than the longs, not very much room from the oval holes inside of the longs with the heater tubes in the way.
With the longs open for the repairs we were able to use ridgid wire and get the spary tube all the way to both ends of the longs . With the floor pan being replaced I didnt treat the tunnel or the fire wall areas since it will be open with full access. I would not try it on a painted car unless you plan on a repaint. it travels around too freely and I think it will bite into a finshed coat. FYI, with the presure in the spray tube it will continue to spray for 3-4 seconds after you stop depressing the nozel on the can!!! I order 5 cans and only used 3 so far. all areas treated got two coats and the longs got a 3rd for good measure |

Plastic covers for the threaded hole for the center (3rd) seatbelt bolts. Only early cars (70/71) had the 3rd seatbelt option. Later cars don't have the holes ...

into the engine bay. Did the battery tray on my 72 so no big deal other than a little fitment but really impressed with the quality and fit of Restoration Designs Console needed no tweaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

hanging the doors and gap to line up the sail pannels and get the rear quarters on. Lots of measuring here and using my 72 for comparison.
