Front angled braces and body seams that will need pulling and straightening. Probably used as jacking points at some time in the past:

The car is back up on the lift so we can finish the underside. The rust in the rear fender wells is worse than we originally thought. He started tapping the rust (what we thought was just a couple of quarter size holes) with a very small hamer and the hose started getting bigger.

The upper front corner of the wheel well on the passenger side:

This section isn’t bad on this side.

The upper front corner of the wheel well on the driver side:

That lighter colored material behind the rust is actually paper on the inside of the car.

Upper control arm mount on the passenger side:

Upper control arm mount on the driver side:

The new windshield is installed and looks great.  The body work and paint will finally start moving again.

The rust around the windshield is fixed finally.

I took this pic before he painted the beige. He had two rust holes to fix and it was basically bubbling rust all the way around the frame. He painted two coats of primer and two coats of beige. There is no way this will rust again.

The windshield will go in today.

I made some mounts for the exhaust heat shield. The old mounts rusted off. They still need to be welded but that is it. I’ll get a pic when everything is installed.

Pipe:

Shield:

Mounts:

The front end is now completely installed.

I installed the strut rod/sway mounts. I still need to pull the control arms and replace those bushings. Once I do that I can finish the suspension. The strut rod mounts, etc. were sandblasted, primed, and painted with Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black.
