I will grab it for sure, like I said it may need a little work, but not near as much as the one I saw in the pics. If you think of anything else let me know. And remember I still have the 3d drawings for all of the floor except the upper and lower tunnel.

I am putting out an APB on any sheetmetal in the area.

More pictures. it looks better without the paint on it. it is fixable but it is going to need some new steel parts.
Enjoy.

So Floors, Firewall, Cowl,windshield cowl, door posts, rockers, Quarters and it will be good to go.

A little hint, Metal2Metal is your friend for the pinholes!

ugg..:-X;D

 

[rbodine]

is any of the metal you need usable from the other tub? or is that even worth doing?

 

[Ethansdad73]

From the old blue one....not this tub is actually in better shape, plus that one has been scraped. I have pans and rockers and i think the quarter panels are usable.

You may want to make a new list when you see it. I would say at least 1 lower qt panel

 

[Ethansdad73]

Ya, but i have my trailer project that i can scrap... those q panels appear to be good and they are un cut so there is more metal to.work with

Well today we had 3 people working all day on the tub. It was sandblasted during the week and needed to have the metal prep done. We Ospho'ed the entire tub and other body pieces,. really soaking them in the chemical. We then washed it and took the scotch bran scrubby pads to it to get all the scale off it. Then dried it off and re ospho'ed it and wiped it down. Wire wheeled and picked out all the old seam sealer. Cleaned it with degreaser and shot it with some PPG DP90. This will get it sealed up and protected as we replace one panel at a time. lots of work but it was good to knock it out. i will try to get the front fenders and hood into sealer tomorrow.
Some pictures:

[bax]

The frame is a junker. We just used it for the roto.

 

[Ethansdad73]
