Rust Repairs Underway

Very nice and the best part is you're charging right along, lots of enthusiasm.

 

The works looks great!

Did you put anything between the metal runners (not sure of name)raised on the tub and the replacement sheet metal?

I know when I took the tub off my 2a, wood shims were added as structural supports between the tub inside the runners. I would like to find a plastic replacement, if possible, as the wood seems like it would rot.

 

Actually, I learned that the wood is oak, and that it causes the rust that we find in these old beauty's. I didn't add anything in between other than a healthy coat of paint that seems to have sealed it pretty well. I plan to shoot it with 3m rubberized undercoating for more protection, but I live in the desert so it's not a high priority for me at this time. It's been a lot of fun driving around town on nice days recently...everybody waves...

But then there's my 14 YO daughter who I actually bought this for...she wants to know where the 12" subwoofer will go R) She gets the Jeep thing, but I still have a ways to go with her
