Project Facelift

[AndrewBird]

The purpose of the cap is not only to blend but to keep road debris and water from being throw in between to the two panels where it can collect and cause it to rust.



Did you put anything between the two panels in that area to keep that stuff out?

We cut it flush with the trunk wall so there is nothing for water to get trapped in. And, like Josh said, undercoating.

Whoa, you still haven't finished this project? :D

Shaddap, TJ. This weekend was the first time it's been above freezing in the daytime for months. :D

We're almost home... :D

Unseasonable warm temperatures have kickstarted my desire to get this DONE! So as soon as I got home from work today, I went out and carried out one of the last steps of this rear valence swap, and got all the bare metal primered with self-etching primer. The great thing is that all the welds are covered in body seam sealer, so they're safe. I hit all the spots of bare metal on the valence, all the bare metal around where the bumper shocks mount, and any place else I saw naked sheet metal, including all the old mounting holes for the diving board skins. All I have to do now is get this sonuvabitch undercoated and painted, and it will be finsihed.

More to come very soon, I hope!

i've been thinking about picking that one up again (it's still in kentucky) but it might have a bent front control arm, so i'm trying to steer away from it (lol) if possible, although it does have sentimental value to me...

Working Monday-Friday, sometimes Saturday, 8am to between 5 & 7pm. Having a 14 month old daughter. Figuring out dinner with the wife when she gets home. Giving the kid a bath. Wanting to sit and drink a few beers after crawling wire under a house all day.

You know, shit like that. :up:

The brunt of those "per day" posts made in the morning when I first get to work, and late in the evening. Not to mention, that number is also an average, and I've been posting here since R3V was first spawned. Anything else you'd like to bust my chops on?

Just fuckin' with you, Dan. Lots of stuff going on, I hit a few things on the car when I have the time. Working on several other parts of it at the same time.

josh is just slacker :D
