January 13, 14- Laurens’s Doors, Front Fenders, Rear Qtr
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 9- Laurens’s Fenders and Rear Quarter
We’re continuing to clean up the front fenders, and Tim has etch primed and started welding the repair panel on. When he is finished we will smooth everything out and gray prime everything over.
January 7- Laurens’s Fender Work
We’ve begun the metalwork on Laurens’s front fenders before we re-install them. So far, they appear to be in very good condition–a bit of old junk and stuff stuck on them, but we’re getting it all off and will do any filling that needs to be done and then will prime them in gray.
December 17- Laurens’ Painting and Grinding
In addition to grinding and priming numerous parts on Laurens’ Mustang, such as the trunk lid and the door jambs, Savannah also finished up the cowl work by undercoating over the seam seals so it looks good and helps harden the seal so it will last. Savannah also put etch prime and gray prime over the areas we have finished up on.
December 11- Lauren’s Headlights, Grinding
We’ve begun the restoration of Laurens’ headlights and headlight buckets, while Tim continues to grind away at the metal that needs work, mostly in the trunk compartment and the rear quarter panels.
