Thanks crawlin68. I’m looking forward to putting some miles on it.

You have been Productive!

Started my next project last month, a little bit of rust repair to the drivers floor, both inner kick panels, as well as some patching on the inner fenders. This is my first attempt at metal repair, so if I’m doing something wrong, please let me know. As soon as I dug in I discovered the bottom of the drivers door pillar was toast. Just about complete on the drivers side repairs. Here is a list of what I have done so far with some pictures: New front floor brace, floor panel, kick panel, and door post. Patches trans tunnel, inner rocker, inner fender, and cowl.

Looks Good... You went Full Monty with the Door post and kick panel!

Thanks Doug. Definitely didn’t plan on getting into the door post, but better to get all the rust out now. Pretty sure I can save the passenger post and only replace the kick panel. Will see when I dig into it this weekend.

Great work on the metal.

Thank you. Learning as I go. Not to bad so far. Just taking longer than I had planned. Passenger side should be quicker.

Looks great! You're doing a great job.

Kind of in the same spot with mine...….I couldn't figure out the "black" door post, spent the extra and got the 2 piece.... Looks good. What's the approach on that inner rocker?

**kman67** · 02-25-2020, 06:56 PM

That is a lot of work!! I like the floor panel. I replaced mine about 20 years ago and got a cheap panel that didn't have the ribs in it. I definitely regret not doing it right. My floors are uncovered and am contemplating redoing it.

Brad, not sure what your asking regarding the inner fender. My inner fender was rotted out where it met the kick panel and a small spot at the front. I just cut those out and welded in a patch.

**M_luther** · 03-01-2020, 08:22 PM

Was able to finish up the passenger side this past week and weekend. Saved the door post with a patch, new kick panel, repaired the cowl corner, and patched the inner fender.

Looks good Sir! When you get it all done, are you painting everything or undercoating, both... or maybe you haven't have time to think that far ahead?
