Clean sweep... COMPLETE

Since last installment, I got the inside of the frame rails vacuumed out, straightened the pinchweld seam along the passenger side rocker





















and the driver side trunk dropoff....















































wiped down the fuel tank area of the underbody that I had previously blasted and painted and dressed down a few areas I had coated from above with POR Putty....





















started dressing some of the welds created when the inner structure was repaired....













































































and when I welded up a misdrilled set of console bracket holes on the transmission tunnel...






























coated the inside of the frame rails with the Eastwood Inner Frame Rail Coating......










































































washed down the underside of the body and chassis with lacquer thinner, primed the area I dressed in the tank area with POR15 Self Etching Primer...





















prepped the firewall front chassis with POR Metal Ready in preparation for painting the underside of the body/chassis...

















applied the POR Putty to the rear wheelhouse weld seams and trunk drop off...
      























































and drilled out and retapped the wiper motor mounting nut that the screw broke off in during disassembly...

















I scotchbrited and prepped the open rear wheelhouse seam with POR Metal Ready so we can apply some panel adhesive into the seam and reclamp the first of the week.

Plans for next weekend are to dress down all the POR Putty covering the splice welds in the wheelhouses and along the trunk drop off and any panel adhesive that may have oozed from the wheelhouse seam and apply one last coat of Eastwood Inner Frame Rail Coating (NOW they have it in BLACK!!!) and get ready to start applying the POR15 and Eastwood Satin Chassis Black to the frame, firewall and underbody.

Until next installment.....
