Gerahead's 71 Dart
No ideas on how to repair the splash shields?
Not too much worthy to report. I finally got the front wheel removed with nothing more than the offending lug nut becoming a casualty in the process. I have been trying to get all the tasks completed that I wanted done before I get it outside to blast the underside of the car to prep for priming and painting. Got the passenger side exhaust hanger where I wanted it and drilled the holes to mount it.
The body mount for the rear axle brake line had been torn from the sheet metal and pulled away from the body. I suspect that someone had tried to remove the axle and forgot to disconnect the mount and found out that it would not support the weight of the axle. Fired up the torch and got the bracket straightened back out. Now I just need a couple of extra hands to hold the bracket in place so I can weld it back into place.
After installing the quarter panels, I never went back and trimmed off the overlap between panels. So I have completed the passenger side and have the driver side all marked off for trimming. I have also been exercising my blast cabinet to clean up and repaint some smaller parts to fill in short intervals of "free time".
That's all for now, just pluggin' away. L8r
