My second 1965 Dodge Dart.
Today my back was in good enough condition to work on the Dart, and the weather was nice too.
I sanded some around the hole for the left vent, on the underside. But, i did not take any pics. Need to sand more. My paper was a 120 paper, but I think I should have had a little more coarse paper, like 80 or 60. Just to rub the rust off. It is surface rust, nothing more. I have a wire brush on the battery drill, but well, ... hm... it was all over the place as I had only one hand to hold it with. I should have had something else to use. I have to see tomorrow if I can use the Dremel for it, if I have any sandpaper disc for it.
But, I got the heater box down, and out of the car. I did not get to open it, but I took some pics of the air inlet hole in the cowl where the heater gets the air from. It is even less rust on the right side of the car.
I also took a picture of the hole for the fan motor in the firewall. It has not been painted on the inside of the car, not primed either. It is plain steel, as grey as it came out of the steel mill in Pittsburg or wherever they got their steel from. How is that even possible ?
