back seat

well im sure some of u are wondering how i decide what to do next on my car idk how i do either.

so i wanted to start by working under the back seat on the inside and really throughly went through the floors no rust the sponge sander couldnt get rid of...i then finished for the day with primering the key spots(wlds and the lines and behind the back of the back seat).

heres some pics. ill be painting it bedliner (duplicolor)

thanks bremereric for the help i got the stuff u showed me and put it on ima paint it black but it looks sloppy original lol.those pics and the frame rails up lkater im having issues with the comp......:naka:

 

[77kickinaspen]

well i got the frame rails from bumber to door jamb (striker) in primer....hopfully weather gets better i can get the silver on . i also finished off the back seat area with brushing on some gloss black over the sealer it looks sharp.

 

[77kickinaspen]

brem the pics of the hole im worried is a drain hole.

i noticed the sealer and thought nothing of it when i painted over it im thinking its a drain maybe what do u think?

 

[bremereric]

I don't have a body book so it would be hard for me to tell whether or not that is a drain hole but very unlikey...take your plastic panels off and have someone spray water on the back and opera windows to see if you can determine where the water is coming from...

 

[77kickinaspen]

ill get pics up of what ive been up too lately all i can say is u guys with black interior are lucky its expencive to make it black at least to me....but damn it looks good!
butt part back seat all black gloss,rear side panels same all gloss black except the chrome ashtrays and aluminum silver coat hanger,just today i got my drivers side door panel gloss black but kept the plastic trim and wood peice made the lock colar black.

[77kickinaspen]

well i havnt booted this thread up latly where do i start i have stop dooing interior for now was getting old. now i was doing engine work on sunday me and my dad after about a month of me saving or two i finaly got all the things i needed for rosie i got a new hd copper brass radiator thank you bremer,new upper and lower hoses,new 180 tstat,aluminum t stat houseing,new water pump,ex flex a lite tranny cooler,and all new fluid water wetter and 50/50 shes running great ima have to get back to work on the interior soon tho.

while doing this i noticed my car has a oe mopar flex fan .
the po took the tstat out and ran it with no gasket just silicone what an a**hole !

 

[77kickinaspen]

so ive been putting in alot of work on the ol aspen latly too dark to take pics i will take a few tomarrow in the light after i finsh the 2'x2' square on the hood left to buff.

after the radiator work i wanted to finish the valve covers so i got the pass side on new gromets and pvc valve shes running good.i have recently been putting my extra time into buffing with no. 7 rubbing compound 26hrs so far after tomarrow be like 27 but she looks really good .

i do have one question its single stage i want to keep it nice as long as i can what should i use next i bought some turtle wax super hard shell wax to put on but som1 told me i should use a polish now what do u guys think?

 

[bremereric]

Turtle wax no way....first use Mequiar's number 7 Show Car glaze and then follow it with their Mirror Glaze Yellow Wax number 26. Make sure you take several pictures of the big radiator install along with that fan shroud I sold you.
