Gerahead's 71 Dart

Well I got the b-pillar reinforcement plate welded in, the facing of the pillar welded back in and finished. I have to throw a little more primer on it to cover the bare metal. I can't remember if I mentioned it before, but if I have, you may have forgotten too! I got an original ram air hood with the car. Someone had started to chemically strip it, but never finished the job. So many years ago, I had the hood dipped to stop the rust that had already started in the areas where the paint had been removed. The dipping process caused some of the bonds between the hood skin and frame to separate. I got some panel adhesive to glue the skin and frame back together. The adhesive came in a standard caulking tube with a mixing tip that had a very small orifice in the tip. After identifying all of the joints that had separated, I VERY carefully spread them apart and squirted adhesive into the gap and allowed the panel tension to "clamp" the surfaces back together. It worked great!
Final sanding has started, FINALLY! So far I have gotten the deck lid, front and rear valences and the fender extensions done. It's exciting to finally be getting closer to paint!
