My 83 Monte Carlo SS carb LS build

[Injectedcutty]

Here's a link to my build thread where I primed and painted my frame.....

Here is the link of some POR15 pics including the floor. As stated, prep is everything! To be honest, i didn't prep the floor as aggressively as everything because it will be covered with sound deadening stuff and carpet. I sprayed the metal prep, and then brushed away.

I know it won't rust for a VERY long time, if ever. Anyways, here ya go.

water is still coming in by the heater box...

it has to be 1 of 2 things... i cut the hole too big for the heater core pipes to come out... or i dont have the rest of the mesh piece under the window liner on yet, u know that the rubber then seals and the hood closes on it...

literally have 0 updates... car is sitting with no carpet, no seats, water coming in, waiting for the trans to get shipped...

trans says it was shipped, no tracking info

I hate when they do that

well this is a first... UPS driver called my shop to see what time we would be open until to make the delivery... or they coulda just sent a tracking # haha. trans got delivered. not sure when i will have the time to put it in cause same shot i need to weld in seat brackets and install the floor ratchet shifter

I vacuumed the water out YET again ... put gasket sealer around the top of the heater box... the hole where the heater core piping comes thru is still large so I am going to make a plate out of metal, drill 2 holes in it (for the piping) and then seal all around it. once the water stops i can work on the interior situation...

 

[6spdg37s]

am i missing something here? Specifically the seal for the hood when it closes

I re-sealed the top of the heater box with mega black gasket maker, the past few days its rained and there is much less/almost no water in the car, going to seal it a little better and also working on something to fill the big hole in the heater box where the heater core hose pipings come out
