Yes, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) getting the bare metal protected is a good feeling.
We had such hi temps and humidity I wasn’t sure if the primer would adhere proper.
So finally was able to do this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) bought different colours of primer
but it will all be the same later. Now on to more difficult tasks: left rear fender &
The all important Left long/kick up and console.

I just read through this entire thread and have no idea how I missed all this. I did not realize you were doing anything to this extent. You are way too modest about your skillset...truly impressive work! Looking forward to stopping by at some point soon and seeing it in the metal.

Started prep work on drivers rear quarter panel.
Removed the undercoating with heat gun, left the flare alone since that is
paint and not tar. Found yet another hole lurking. Apparently minding its own
business till the flap disc found him out. Oh how I miss my complete car.....
Oh well we are here to make it whole again. There is a nice chunk missing by the tail lamp I’ll be utilizing a good piece from Garold. I’ll prep
that next week hopefully. So some before and after pics:

Unbelievable the amount of seam sealer that was around the snorkel. Dug that out.
I have a new snorkel and slam panel for that area.
Removed the ..urethane? Foam from the panel as well.

Let me check the scrap pile in the morning. I had a pair of extra sail panels that were too far gone to use to replace mine, but I don't remember where they were damaged. We might get lucky.

Pulled it out of the scrap pile. It's a bit crusty under vent tube but looks like it might clean up and cover the area you need to patch. If you think it has promise, I can hit it with the media blaster this evening and send more pics. If you decide you want it, pm me with your address and how much you want cut off and it's yours.

Ah! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I wish I'd have known. My recollection is that part isn't cheap and you can have this one for free.

I was about to say "Forget the snorkel. You're in deep enough that you need full on SCUBA gear!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Look great, Dion. You're really getting there!

Repacked



Nice work.

When you get your car on the road if you find you have any vibrations even subtle ones in the front wheels or run out in the hubs, wheels that mystifies all diagnostics start here.

Those are high spots where the race bottoms out which occurs when removing the old races with a drift, punch etc I usually take an old race slice it with a cut off wheel, a rubber drum on a drill motor, some 600 grit lapping compound and spin the "race lapping tool" for about 20 seconds until the high spots are gone. (hubs are soft aluminum)

Yours aren't bad but could show up as a gremlin later. I've seen hubs much worse that I have repaired were murdered by the BFH.

On the Pelican site I have seen a 50+ times guy replaces bearings and races then shows back up three month later with an issue and a new vibration thread then later needlessly replacing hubs.

The high spots are small but when you extend that small rise to tread distance or wheel bead it turns into preventable amount of run out. The tapered rollers will last longer also.
