2010_09_13 Dave: Rearend and Assembly Doors
We’ve disassembled the doors to Cathy’s Mustang, including the door pads and all the window mechanics. The doors have some rust, but they don’t appear too badly damaged. Depending on how long we expect it will take us to repair them, we may just advise to replace them.
We’re grinding the rust off of the doors and front fenders. As you can see, some holes are appearing where the metal was rusted all the way through, so we’ll need to do some repairs there, though we think that, on the whole, the body parts are usable. We’ve also welded the right rear quarter panel on, so now there just needs to be some smoothing out done there.
January 4, 5- Laurens’s Reassembly
As you can see, we’ve started re-installing the chrome trim on Laurens’s Fastback and have begun preparing to install the glass again. The interior is also coming together nicely, and we’ve installed the cover plates over the shock towers. We’ve also installed the door hinges–and the doors themselves will soon follow.
July 17- Cowl, Hole repair, and Door Removal
The guys disassembled the dash for a good inspection of the cowl. It was definitely rusted and will need repair. There was also some rust, from a leak, on the passenger side of the dash. Rust conversion and paint will fix both of these problems. Tim also repaired the hole from an extra antenna on the back passenger side fender. What a relief that was! Finally, there are some photos of the doors being removed for repair.
