What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

[pontiacgp]

Fixing to get hit with alittle bit more snow tomorrow, decided it would be best to hit all the body line and corner area's of the body that are starting to show a bit of rust. I knocked the rust out with 120 grit on the body lines and some other areas and applied a "Temporary" primer w/ light scratch filler. This will help until I can get to re-priming, Body work and paint.

for temporary cover I would use a sealer, the primer is porous so won't be protecting the metal with it....

In the short amount of time that I have until it starts snowing I had to use a quick coat of primer, other wise yes a sealer would have been better. Then again with this virus scare, and the fact I have to get up at 2am in the morning to get ready for work it's the best I can do for now.

Motor mounts attached to frame. Should've been easy but do to poor planning had already installed front suspension which made it difficult

I see you have a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve in the stock location. Will you be able to reach the adjuster once the body is on?

Fabricated a bracket for my Wilwood master cylinder and got new NiCop brake lines run across the frame.

I changed the line routing in the rear, anybody know why GM ran the lines up over and outside the frame then back in again? Am I going to have clearance issues with the way I have it routed now?

For protection

They way you have it now it can get caught on something and break.

It will also be bouncing around with no support

Yes I will be able to adjust it. It will be a bit of a pain, but once its adjusted shouldn't have to fool with it anymore I hope.

The line is actually really well supported it does not move at all. I'm talking about the way I have it routed in the second to last picture where everything is painted black, the last picture was for reference as to how the lines were ran before.

I'm wondering if I'll have trouble for not routing it like the green line?

Well it took 33 years but finally had to replace the original Harrison heater core with a Carquest cheapo.
