Let see, didn't post Friday because Thursday night was spent watching
Survivor (Final episode, all night deal. I'm weak, what can I say.)
Friday: Welded up all the holes in the roof! Hey, once you've got them
figured out, these MIG welders are wonder machines. I had a long strip of
copper to back the holes with and could do about ten at a time before
un-clamping the copper plate and moving it to the next ten holes.
Saturday: Ground the welds flush, top and bottom side. Buffed ground areas
with gray wheel, made minor Bondo fills for the little pits and
imperfections. Welded up a couple cracks near the top gate hinge mount
points, Ground some more. Sanded. Treated seams and surface rust areas
with Extend, inside and out. Sanded some more. The body is very close to
getting primer coat, just need to fix some dents in the drive's side rear
wheel well and weld in the cross member when it gets here from Utica.
