Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Well we didn't get to put the old girl on her side this weekend do to lots of other family things going on. My little girl's soccer team played 2 playoff games and won the championship! That was exciting, the first game ended in a tie which had a 10 minute overtime which ended in a tie and then penalty shots to decide it. My kid scored the winning goal! That was cool.
Then my middle son's soccer team finished with the best record and won the league championship! No playoffs in this league, just best record. I'm so proud!
Aaron and I put some hours in on Friday night while the rest of the family hit the movie theatre. We did stuff that we neglected when Misty was in the storage unit. We removed the seatbelts, which when we originally removed the interior we didn't do for the lack of the right socket. Man, the bolts that run into the floor took some heavy duty pulling on that ratchet handle to get them out.
Also, one of the PO's put replacement carpet in the car with construction adhesive that was still all over the the floor in the areas not affected by the front floorpan replacement. So we scraped most of it off with a painters multi tool. I came off enough that what was left would not gum up a twisted wire wheel in the grinder. Got the drivers side free of the adhesive including the firewall. Also found that a PO mounted a bracket for an audio EQ to the bottom of the cowl, so there are a few new holes to weld shut.
I had cut the cowl open on the passenger side to graft in a donor skin segment. While I was lying on the floor of the car looking up at the rust that a need to remove on the inner cowl on around the fresh air intake on the bottom, I was thinking about getting the cowl cleaned out without flooding it with water. I'm going to put my shopvac hose in the opening I cut and seal it in with rags and tape then tape over the cowl grilles. I think if I fire up the shopvac then blow air in the cowl drains on the drivers side of the car the remaining debris will find its way to the vacuum.
This car has not seen a drop of water since May when it was outside for a week but it didn't see rain, prior to that we stored her inside for over two years, so its nice and dry and it's going to stay that way.
I'm just happy that we did something this weekend......
