My First Mopar - 1972 Duster
Well its that time once again guys, update time!
I finally got my hands on a die grinder. I was able to get into those spots in the frame that needed attention. I removed all of the rusted metal that was sandwiched in the frame. I then proceeded to level off the high spots in the metal. I got the area around it clean and grinded to accept the patches. I cleaned up some scrap metal and made some square patches that I was able to attach with plenty of glue. I also sealed up what ever holes and seams in there as well. Messy Work! After curing I smoothed out the glue, and I'm ready to go. Next Step will be coating the flanges with some weld-through primer, coat the inside of the rails, and then finally fit and weld the trunk floor and extensions. Moving right along now.
Merry Christmas guys and see you in the new year!
