With my son's help (and his willingness to lie on his back and weld upside down), we attached the support bracket for the center of the rear bumper cap.

We also redid part of the front panel seam, where we turned the PO lap joint into a butt seam. Welding was not solid, and multiple efforts did not improve things, so I cut a hole for a patch.

From the inside, after welding in new metal, and some rough grinding.

More bumper fitting, all on the front right fender, and mostly around the recess for the bumper cap end.

My ace assistant at work, in the second part of a welding and grinding cycle.

Although the recess looked good yesterday, grinding the shape made the welded metal too thin and made it crack. So today was weld-grind-repeat.

Here is the work in progress.

The final result, at least for today. The shapes and fit look good to me.

I also started prep for transport to the paint shop. The plan is not final yet, but will require some tie-downs, preferably that do not touch the body and will work when I bring the car home with fresh paint.

For the front, the square tubing connects across the bolt holes for the torsion bar mounts.

Just enough clearance for a strap hook.

Gathering miscellaneous parts for the paint shop, I found out the car's name.

Got some bolts today, and mounted the tie-down brackets to the rear suspension points. I added some quick-links so the straps can tie off with reasonable angles.

The big job today was some targeted rust treatment. After testing both Corroseal and Ospho, I chose Corroseal. It did a better job at penetrating surface rust and leaving a more complete coating.

With my son's help, we started with the trunk lid. I poured about a cup of Corroseal between the inner skin and the rear internal rib. We then tilted the lid in different directions to coat the inside, and then penetrate the trailing edge. After pouring off the excess, we propped the lid upright to drain and dry.

We then did the same thing with the doors, pouring some Corroseal into the bottom interior and coating the internal seam.

Last, I injected Corroseal inside the jack point flanges, including the second drain hole I added.

That's pretty much it. Tomorrow we will work to prepare the car and dolly for transport. Good friends should arrive with a trailer Friday morning, and then off to the paint shop.

Let's see what that Corroseal looks like?
Inquiring minds and all.....
