Started my preservation project.

It's taken me a almost a week and I'm almost done (I hope). I did find some rust here are some pics.

The one in front of the seat support goes through the metal. It's about 2 inches in diameter.

There was only a little here but it definately looks like rust.

This is what she looks like now. Naked.

This is where I hope to put the shine back in the parts.

Just saw your pics, and all things considered you got a pretty solid car to work with. I wish my 70 was that solid. Good luck onh your project, keep the pics coming.:classic:

Ed - perhaps you could simply upload pictures to your gallery instead of attaching them to messages.

I am very impressed with your workshop, looks amazing.

With that kind of workshop, I am sure you will be finishing the job off soon.

Good luck.

:classic: I saw the pictures and saw a little discolored stuff. Real rust has holes and nasty stuff. Just kidding , looks like you are dealing with surface stuff and that is great and I am happy for you. I am heving to replace the floor on the pass. side and repair the driver side , Plus a little work on the battery tray. I decided to pull the tray because it had rust under it and am glad I did , I can see why this is an area of trouble. I used a tool to remove spot welds and ended up with 6 3/8" holes in the inner fender. Not good . Since I have to have welding done that will be fixed at the same time . I am glad for y ou that the white stuff is going away. Gary

Give me your workshop. Now. I'm very jealous :classic:

Seriously though it should be a fairly easy resto, I've got more rust in my rear quarter than you do in the entire car!

As Metalman said, "Keep the pictures coming" it's always interesting to see what others have to contend with
