The shrinker/stretcher came with interchangeable jaws, the English wheel came with 6 different does. Yes, that rim is so rotten that even after bead blasting the bead area, it still leaked

Hopefully this weekend I can put some time into the car.

It's been an absolutely terrible week since last friday.

I have the happiest interior guy around, he doesn't have to make me a headliner LOL. Also found a mint set of seatbelt retractors local for $20...all said and done the headliner was under $70 Canadian.

I finally after searching for a year found an NOS Antenna Specialists Disguise dual band antenna for my '73, as that is what an unmarked or detective's OPP unit would of had.

In the name of accuracy I had to have the correct antenna..

That will be major reconstructive surgery. Impressive.

It began today, after running errands this morning I started.

Naturally I ran out of gas, so I'll have to go grab another tank tomorrow.

So I'm thinking the top of the cowl is going to need to come off

Wow, that is just more rust the deeper you get... are you going to piece it all back together or are you going to use the full length of your patch panel?

 

[detmatt]

I would start a falsework cage in there and cut the whole thing out, it’ll be faster and more thorough.

That piecemeal work is too much. Cut the A piller, split the toe board pinch weld and put the whole damn thing in.

Problem is, none of the 3 I have is rust free, and '69 and '73 firewalls are not 100% the same as I learned.

At this point, I'm going to basically peel it all off and reverse engineer it panel by panel.

Otherwise this is going to be over my skill level
