Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Last but not least was the driver's side air "box". It's made out of black plastic vs whatever that stuff the heater box is. True to form the door hinge pivots were seized and someone had forced it open ripping out the bottom mounting rivet and twisting the hinge into a pretzel. I drilled out the rivets, straightend out the hinge, repainted it and made a backer out of some sheet metal. Then riveted it back together with some larger and longer rivets. Luckily, although the heater box door pivots were stuck, no one had forced it open yet. Those in my experience are much more difficult to fix due to the material the box is made of. Well that's what I've been up to so far this summer, hope you all are making progress on your personal piles, er, projects.... Latter.
