Introducing Project THANKS MOM!

[KUSI]

Finch had the car blown back apart in no time to begin the sheet metal repair work that was needed. As I suspected, once the windshield and back glass were removed it was obvious that the window channels would need work. Along with that were the tasks of welding up the factory seams, emblem locations, and radio antenna.











Once the leaf springs were removed from the body there were more signs of being a 40 year old car. Time for some frame rail repair.





I originally had purchased a DSE heater core closeout panel that screwed in. That worked fine but after seeing many firewalls that had been smoothed out I knew that was the look I really wanted instead.





Finally, the fresh metal work got covered with a coat of sealer/primer.
