Thats about a good a car as you can get. Not a drop of rust on it at all.
Good Morning All! Got the heater box out but not w/o twisting another stud. Thought I had already removed the "hard to get to one", nope.
Yes. Need to practice though. Hope you can tack it then remove pipe to fully weld it. Clean it if its old pipe
Because it's olive drab green of course!
Any recommendations for welding this? Didn't realize that the "press studs" were slid into plastic slots. I did buy a couple 1/4 20 bolts thinking I was going to tack them in, now dunno.
That would make a killer salt water bay fishing boat.
Morning!
We got SUNSHINE!!
Think its going to be humid

Where are they?
Everything from the header back to the rear axle is out right now
Hull looks like a Bay Runner my Dad used to have, nice and stable.
I have seen them Army used them for bridging rivers. Has to have a crapload of torque with twin turbo sixes.
There's two on the right side edge, one twisted, one spun in half. I really made things harder for myself on this one.
Into the fiberglass on the heaterbox itself?
The core is still in the box there, have a few bolts/clips to pull it out. The housing is all plastic, you can see the two studs I'm talking about one is on the right lower side of the core, the bent one is at the end of the control cable with the red color on it.
Weld bolt to a strip of sheet metal, then pop rivet to heater box.
Or just wel a tab to the bolt and epoxy it in.
Didn't think of that thanks. Will see how those studs are mounted in there closer after work today.
PC7 them back in? Or ask Ritchie at the heater box guy sure he has been through this just drop mine and Mitches name.

Whatever I do the nut is in the engine bay and I want to able to tighten it down reasonably tight. May even be able to just bolt it and use a fender washer in the cab side, dunno. The wife will have to help if I do it this way, she don't love that but she'll do it lol!
Tell you what PC7 you can actually drill and tap if needed and works well on the fiberglass.
Good hardware stores have it.
