Update time.
After a nice break at the 914 NorthEast Gathering was inspired to get back to this project.
Minor in the scheme of things but necessary.
Epoxy primed the left longitudinal and left rear of chassis. Followed that up with Eastwood’s chassis black paint.

Brent @bbrock I have to apologize. The small part of the sail panel I wanted to use didn’t
fully cooperate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Was prepping the rear fender for the chassis black.
Scuffing up the epoxy primer and discovered more rust in that vicinity of the sail where
the handle and snorkel sit. Uggh! Hit it with grinder and it revealed more issues.
I went ahead and cut out the metal, I had nothing to weld to. It was so thin. Just blowing holes on the minimal settings. The foam backing did it in all those years.
So ordered a new sail panel from Restoration D.
While that waits at the border I can clean up my flooded basement and remove a tree!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks tropical storm Isaias! Always something.

Isaias handy work. The end of the tree is on top of my shed. The John Deere is in there
so I need to rescue him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not the biggest tree, just landed wrong! Be nice if it just fell in the woods!
Ok hopefully more 914 stuff soon. Stay safe and dry.

Hackberry? At least the bird house is okay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I had forgotten all about that sail panel piece. Jogging my memory, IIRC it was too trashed to use on my car but we thought the small area you needed might be okay. Good call on getting an RD panel. Made life a lot easier for me.

Glad you are safe!

That bird house has survived many a storm! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Boy Scouts made that one.
Hackberry? I don’t know. I liked it. Was only around 5 feet tall when we moved here 22 years ago. Right on the woods edge. Sad ending.
Yes Brent thought we’d get lucky but more little rust damage than I thought. The edge toward the door jamb is almost pure seamsealer, after skimming more metal away.
The “meatier” side of the sail looked ok. Unfortunately SO thin. It just kept disintegrating
with every trigger pull. Yes new panel. The right call now.
Cheers Brent, Michael, Mark!

Time for an update. So I received the Restoration Design sail panel. I kinda cheated and used only the section from it to do repairs on my fender. I wanted to keep the original
outline of the sail so it would match up to the chassis without a lot of fettling. I’m not a body shop guy so trying to make it easier on me. Concentrating on that task I didn’t
take a lot of pics, oh well.
