Went back to work on the sail panel patch again.
Wasn’t really happy that some flash rust had shown through the primer.
Sanded that area again and prepped. Then used some self etching primer there
since it has the “zinc” content in it.

Flipped the fender over and used the same treatment I did for the other flares.
Where as my flares had been “lap welded” as opposed to “butt weld” , I wanted to add
an extra means chemically to warn off problems.
I used Eastwood’s internal chassis coating to have it creep into the small crevices of the welded areas. Of course cleaned it thoroughly first. Then I used “rubber undercoating” on the flare itself. The condition of paint on the inner flare was quite sound. After prepping and cleaning the rest of the interior of the fender I then sprayed with epoxy primer. This should keep till the rest of the chassis is done. Then finish bodywork can begin.... that’s a bit aways yet!

I know this car was a COTM & I appreciate that very much.
However the paint job was 14 years old and was just applied on the topsides.
No door jambs or underhood areas. So since we’re in for a pound in for a penny,
I’m addressing areas that need attention. I’m not calling this a restoration but a freshening. This is my build, my hot-rod. Not concours by any means. So if ya see flaws
oh well I’m doing my best. So this weekend I tackled the headlite hardware and
the buckets. Sanded the headlite hardware, primered and gave em the zinc phosphate look with a spray bomb from Eastwood.

Sunday’s chore was the bucket area and the front portion of the rain channel around the hood. Also did a re-spray of the floor of the frunk. It was a bit scuffed up.

Dion,

I sand blasted mine as well and I swear that 914rubber.com had a kit to do this and replace the hardware.. Am I imagining that? Mine have been bare metal while I wait to find that kit. Any insight?

Honestly Ben I don’t recall that. I wouldn’t doubt it though.

@mb911 just checked Mikey’s site. He has the lite adjuster blocks, nylon bushings and the arm/lever. That’s what I found.

and there is a drill nearby..... just a bit of fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
