Nice work! Looks like you're just about finished with all the metal patch work, that's gotta be a good feeling. What's next on the list of things to do?

Nice work! Looks like you're just about finished with all the metal patch work, that's gotta be a good feeling. What's next on the list of things to do? It is a GREAT feeling!! lol Can't wait to put the welder away for a while! Not much left. Finish up the wheel lip, a few spots on the drivers side rocker, one of the legs on a leaf spring mount, and fill a couple pin holes. Once that's done, strip the underside, prep, and paint it. Then assembly. Have a bunch of parts to get still. Still need to find a place to rebuild my 9.25 rear. Your a regular metal arteest, Zac...impressive work, brother! Rob Thanks my man! One step at a time lol. You know any decent shops in the area who rebuild rear ends? It's getting close to that point!

I don't know any shops in Jax, my man....I do know that Dvorak Machine here in my neck o' the woods is a heavy-duty Mopar racing man...he might know of a shop in your area, as Dan's been racing Mopars for a long, long time, and is well-respected in the hobby. www.dvorakmachine.com/index.shtmlRob

My rustbullet order from summit came in, Time to get back to work! Got the exhaust, rear shocks, filler tube, heat shields, an what was left of he fuel lines off. Spent all day under the car with the needle scaler, stripping the underside. Other then sandblasting, I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. What a mess!! Found a couple small holes, an got em patched. After a little wire wheeling to clean up some spots, I sprayed the rust bullet metal prep on. This stuff started working as soon as I applied it. Can see it "etching" the bad spots in white in the pics. I'm letting this soak in over night. Tomorrow I'll clean the belly a little more, wire wheel the primer off the wheel wells, and start painting. I haven't removed the trans yet. That will be next weekend's job. The closer I got too the front, the better shape the metal, and undercoating were in. I might just knock the loose stuff off, and apply the new undercoating over whats there.

Much better. Hopefully the rust won't show its ugly face again.
