I have a few updates and some pics of the work in progress. A few frustrations as well, and my research is not yielding any answers.
On the bright side, when I mentioned that my son's grandpa has been a huge help thus far, he came through big with a present for himself, a Bendpak lift!! Now we'll be able to really get into the underside of the car without hurting our backs or doing subpar work because we're cramped underneath the car on our backs.
We've just about finished up the interior/floorboard rust repair. We've painted on the Por15, a couple coats of it actually, then once that was dry I've redone the interior sound deadening both for comfort as well as the eventual audio build. The carpet is done getting dyed (pics soon) and we're about to try our hand at dying the door cards and rear side panels black. We've picked up some leather dye from the local farm supply store (for saddles) which is supposed to work great.
Sound deadening has been applied to the floor, some of the footwell sides, the rear sheet metal between the trunk and cabin, backseat sides, inside both doors, and will get applied to trunk once that's cleaned up.
Also on the list now that we have the car up is to start cleaning 30 years of crud, oil, grease, and who knows what else off of the underside of the engine back and subframe. Yuck.
