65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
My son brought his kids by this afternoon so his son Robbie could get a start on learning how to remove old rusty floorpans, fitting the repro and finally welding them in place. I showed him the passenger front and rear (which both need replacing) and the repair panels. He decided to start on the passenger rear first. I got him some eye and ear protection and work gloves and went over operation of a cutoff wheel (first time ever using one). He got started with the cutoff wheel and found out the thin, rusty metal cut like a knife through butter - the good metal, not so quick. We’ve still got a long way to go before starting to fit the new floorpan. His comment - not too bad except it’s kind of cramped inside the car - he’s easily close to 6’2” so I can understand where he’s coming from. He’s back for more tomorrow so more progress on the longroof!
