67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Well the LH side is done now too. Glad this is over with. I dreaded doing all this because of the mess. As I stated before, it's very messy but real fast, and real thorough. But at least it's done now. My 67 coupe isnt nearly as rough as the 69 is. It will need much less work in the rust removal and metal replacement department aside from some quarter skins.
LH UCA area with framerail had some spots where the rust wouldent come out with the blaster. I think my glass media was just getting too pulverized to really work effectively by this time. I got in there with an inline air die grinder and some long tapered rotary files and cleaned it out to bare steel. I'd say better than 95% of the corrosion is gone, the rest is sealed in epoxy. This car wont be driven in the rain or bad weather anymore so it should last a long time
Anyhoo, I ran out of light and primered it at night with light from the shop lights and a flashlight. Several bugs committed HariKiri in it. I dont know if it's the light or the smell that draws em in. It's only epoxy primer. It's just to seal the bare metal, so I dont care so much. I mixed up a little too much, so I think I will spray the trunk floor and underside of the new cowl with it today and use it up.
