Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart

I was able to solder the corroded seam closed. I had never done this kind of soldering, it looks repaired and I used a lot of solder.

When I pressure tested it first it had a couple of pinholes. I touched them up and pressure checked again. Seems to be fixed for now. I'm sure it is rotting out from the inside though. Gives me some time though.

I also addressed some light bulbs that weren't working. Found out there weren't any bulbs in the backup sockets. On one side there was a very old wasp nest. I cleaned the sockets up and now I can see at night while backing out of my long dark driveway at night.

Also finally got my steering gear in better shape. It still turns easier to the left and doesn't center from right turns, but the play is all gone.

Now I'll see if I can make it a week of driving without something breaking.
