[QUOTE="taylorsk8, post: 99772, member: 33"] Finished off the welding on the birdcage. Had to add a custom made seat belt bar reinforcement. Didn't even realize there was supposed to be one until I was browsing the internet and came across a guy doing a similar resto. Mine never had one on before the tear down, probably due to the fact that the rockers were terribly replaced at some point. Anyway, after cleaning up the welds I gave it a blast and 2 coats of POR15. Came out looking very good. To bad no one will ever see any of it except where the VIN tag shows through. Here are some pics.[ATTACH=full]6826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6828[/ATTACH] I also took a few hours to scrape off the sound deadening in the floor pans. A heat gun and a scraper worked very well for this. [ATTACH=full]6829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6830[/ATTACH] Next up is to clean up the firewall and do some fixes. Started scraping out the windshield wiper trough and a heat gun does not work on that stuff! I ended up using a hammer and stiff scraper to chip it away. More to come. I hope this winter is more productive than last! T [/QUOTE]
