OK, its just getting worse and worse.
So i just about have one side of my 65 cornet 4 to 2 door conversion
done, thanks to the tutelage of the great wally Breer and lots of
help and photos .
but it was really bugging me that i couldn't see what kind of
shape the INSIDE of the rocker panels were in, so I braced up the
rocker area from below and sliced the top of the sill plate out with
a cutoff tool, and have a look-see.
Of course they were fine in there, but i slapped in some rust
converter, blew it all around with compressed air to drive it into
cracks and gaps followed by two coats of rustoleum and more
compressed air.
In the areas i couldnt get my arm into thru my "inspection panel"
, I just put the rust converter into an oil pump can and shot a
ton of the stuff in thru every hole i could find and used more
air to move it around. did the same with the rustoleum. I
originally tried a plastic pump spray bottle but the fluids were
too thick and it couldnt handle it, but the oil pump can worked
great.
I welded the plate back in , ground it down nice and u cant even tell
i was ever in there.
I thought for sure the rockers would tweak and bend with that piece
of metal out but everything looks fine and the door shuts just like
before.
So now i can sleep!!
no wonder it takes me forever to finish anything with all the little
perfectionist ideas i come up with
