Laecaon Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 just curious, when you tear this down to you bag and label the bolts/screws? Or just wing it? Memorize it! I had no problem reassembling my car after I threw all the screws and bolts in a box. Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am now fully Committed. I have to run the 68 wipers. First layer came off easily. Got ruined in the process. The second layer I have to massage out. Now I can take care if the rust in there. Cant imagine the tedious work that is going to be involved in taking apart the other cowl without messing it up. I'll keep you guys posted . Very nerve wrecking. Had a couple drinks too. Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Already had tons of stainless on the car. Boxes and tubs full of 510 hardware here. Only special bolts are the ones that hold the trunk hinges. Those pull a premium here lol Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Damnit, seen the thread bumped with your name. hopin to see more stuff you did! Keep up the good work phildo Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The second panel is a pita. Had to do relief cuts to bend it back. In order to access the spot welds. The 68 one has less spot welds so I'm hoping it comes apart faster. Have to weld up the vin. Only thing I will save from the old cowl. Neat tool tray Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Whats up with all the blankets in phils car you guys arn't making him sleep in there are you lol Yup I sleep in there snuggled up next to coyotes. They keep me warm. Sand gets everywhere when blasting . Used them to cover the engine bay. Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 To add to the keepers pics . Finished the rust repair on the lower fender. Learned what not to do when welding it up. Blew threw and warped it a little. I did it though!!!! Rolled both fenders with hammer and dolly. Took a while. You have to go slow. First step. Try to get them straight as possible. People need to stop leaning on cars!! Creates too much work . Lol There you guys go. Moar oics!!!! Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 First step. Try to get them straight as possible. People need to stop leaning on cars!! Creates too much work . Lol It also rubs dirt into the paint causing scratches. I never let my friends touch my cars. Thanks for the OICS!! Quote Link to comment
