1972 Daddy Daughter Duster
Hey Folks,
Been awhile since our last update. The girls and I made some good progress. Got the sub-frame connectors welded in (welding upside down was quite interesting.) A little bit more challenging than doing it sunny side up! Funny how that molten metal drips...got some new ventilation in my clothing. And how is it that them little bits of lava find their way in behind the welding helmet and into my ear? :angryfir: Wasn't pretty, but they're in there nice and solid.
Before the fireworks!
Welded up the cracks in the floor, patched some damage and got rid of the rust and laid on a few coats of POR15. Also fabricating some seat mounting reinforcing plates to be tacked in from below.
Yesterday we laid down some sound deadener on the floor and inner door panels.
Next week we'll cut the new padding to size and lay in the ACC Carpet.

Can't wait to drive the car again!
Take care everyone.
