73-No word on texas cuda yet [smilie=e: hopin it don't come now till next weekend, got a full plate this week!
beeps-My wife's threatining to hang me out there! [smilie=2:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Finally got a little time for the 73, started up the music machine to let her charge up & listened to that nice lopy cam tap me a beat to set up the work stuff for weldin!
the easy one first, pass side not too bad, ground it out, not deep so I oxysolved it !
ground out, then cleaned up

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

dabbed a little por15 on that baby & she's done!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Now of course this is RUSTY C so ... well ... you know it won't be that easy, drivers side I was hopin only the outer piece was gone, but noooooo she popped thru!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

So I bridge welded the hole workin in from the edges , then I patched the whole thing, after two rounds of weldin & grindin, here she is!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Put away the noisy stuff for tonight , went back for (I hope) the final pass to fill in the voids, may try & weld in the wire covers on the floor pans tonight, not a bad after noon, 74 all charged up, still need that bushing sleeve to call the undercarrige complete, but I think thats IT!

Looks great! [smilie=e:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Thanks guys, did eek out enough time to weld in the wire covers, gettin close to body work on the shell, one more rust repair in framing under the roof buy the windshield & that sleeve & it's back to the quarter pannels!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Welded in the mystery sleeve & got a coat a por 15 all around & in it!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Had a little give in the Q pannel buy the tail panel, didn't wanna weld there cause I couldn't use spots, but had to do it the ADD on way! [smilie=e:
had to seal up the bottom too!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

& now the finally , the last patch needed on the shell!
the carnage!
& the carnage removed!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Patch is formed, but I had to slop por 15 into the guts there, so not sure if I will attempt the weld (I said attempt cause the metal is thin on one side) tonight but she's ready!

 

[beeper*71]

[smilie=e: Gettin there..... [smilie=::

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

It's in, not too bad,not a lot a blow thru, so either i'm gettin a little better at weldin [smilie=e: or the metal wasn't as thin as I thought [smilie=e:
but it's done, started strippin the quarter & door sil area on the pass side, body work is approaching swiftly, I know when it gets here it'll slow down to a crawl, but after 2 years, it will seem fast! [smilie=e:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Gettin close, little more cleanin & a dent in my new quarter to deal with, A coat a por15 & body work can begin on the pass side!
Naked lady! [smilie=b:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

drivers side should be easy, just the one coat a primer on the quarter to remove, still got the doors to do but that will hold awhile!

 

[viking]

You're the Master Rusty !! [smilie=e: [smilie=e:
