Update as it stands today....
Metalwork status:
Driver Floor installed
Driver Torquebox installed
Driver Floor support installed
Driver Rear Frame Rail installed
Driver Inner Wheelwell lower edge replaced
Front Driver and Passenger fender apron tops repaired
Front Passenger Fender Apron replaced
Engine bay stripped and rustproofed
Front wheel wells stripped and rustproofed
Passenger Rear Frame Rail removed
Dash stripped, prepped, and primed
Metalwork left to do:
Install Passenger Rear Frame Rail
Install Transition Pan and rear shock brace
Remove and Replace Passenger Floorpan
Remove and Replace Passenger Toe Board
Remove and Replace Passenger Torque Box
Remove and Replace Passenger Floor Support
Install Trunk Floors
Install Outer Wheelhouses
Install Quarterpanel Skins
Other items to be done:
Rustproof and Prime entire Engine Bay and Underbody
Prime Interior
Seam Seal all seams on the car
Spray underside and wheelwells with bedliner/undercoating
Rustproof, prime, paint, and replace rear end and associated hardware
Rustproof, Prime, Paint and Replace fron suspension and associated hardware
Things still needed to buy:
Seam Sealer
Red Oxide Primer
Chassis Black Paint
Undercoating/Bedliner Spray Kit
Rear shock mounting plates(Original ones were cracked in the center)
Coil Spring Compressors
Unknown issues that have come up:
Drivers Torque box needed removed, prepped and reinstalled
Passenger Rear Frame Rail needed complete replacement instead of just the rear portion.
Alot left to do but the hardest part is completed. The passenger floors and associated parts will be done concurrently. I can not install the rear Quarterpanel skins and outer wheelwell patches until the car sits on its own suspension or the gaps wont be right. When I figure out my computer issues, I will be posting alot of pics as to Before and After(Probably next weekend). If I had to start this again, I would definately get it blasted completely before starting any metalwork. If you are doing any classic vehicle from the ground up, I highly recommend doing that.
Favorite tool of choice so far:
Dewalt 4.5 inch angle grinder
Gib
