Operation Lipstick on a Pig

[fleming442]

you think that's bad? you should see the floorboard welds on the regal! I make bubblegum welds look good!

my opinion, if you can't see it, and it's strong enough, who cares?

glad you were able to take care of the issue at hand!

Thanks, bro!

That's a great idea with the evaporator core

A little caulk and paint will make a carpenter what he ain't!

I put that sh*t on everything! I can do decent body work but that takes time. The undercoat covers the cracking bondo in the 70S rear fenders nicely.

Might not win any academy awards but looks like good fab work and a solid repair.

Got a ton done yesterday. Dash is out, cruise removed, and needed wires identified. Gauge cluster will fit. 8's probably aren't going in the kick panels; I must've been smokin some good stuff when I came up with that one. Just have to undo the shift linkage, crossmember, and driveshaft and it's out with the old, in with the new.

Hockey pucks for the win!

Still have to build the floor back in, but I'm happy!

A 2 1/2" hole saw... should be 2 3/4, but Ace didn't have one at the time.
I used 7/16 bolts for 1/2" holes.
