not bad at all!!!

Removal of lower quarter skin reveals hardly any rust!!!!   Some muriatic acid, a good rinse, and some por-15......good to go!!!    Very VERY little surface rust.  I'm surprised considering the condition of the skin!!   Yes....the little rust spot above the cut will be removed and a little piece welded in...i didn't forget it....lol

That looks ALOT better than mine did!

[TylerCharger69]

Honestly....I was really surprised!!!   Not to mention about 10 pounds of Arizona dirt that fell out of it....lol....Maybe that acted as a preservative?...lol

  that looks real solid behind there !!  

keep the pictures coming

[TylerCharger69]

will do!!

[bull]

How are you going to cut that knob out? Hole saw?

[TylerCharger69]

By using an electricians punch kit to remove the bad.....it will be a perfect circle.....then I'll use that as a template to make a new piece to tack in it's place!!!  I'll post the procedure when the time comes here real shortly

Very Sweet!

[lexxman]

looks good,Are you making a replacement piece or are you getting one from another car?

[twodko]

You gotta love Greenlee punches! Great idea.

Greenlee!!!   You got it!!!!  The exact tool!!!  The one in the green case.   Im going to get a replacement piece from AMD or as cheap as I can find one....unless of course some generous soul would find it in his heart to send me one (or both sides)  from a donor car....(hint hint)      Oh man just the sound of that sentence made me laugh a bit....

If I had a parts car piece I'd send it to ya.
