Default Re: Next Years Power Tour Car

I'm waiting to get the car into the Body Shop right now.....kinda in that limbo mode where not much is happening.....But....The car was undercoated since new but the drivers foot pan had some rust from the inside, it didn't go thru but it thinned out the metal.......so, I did the Rust removal thing from the inside but I didn't want to leave it the way it was......so.....I pieced out a replacement floor pan section and welded it in over the existing floor.....I painted and prepped between the two pieces and tacked it in......then I sprayed a can of Boeshield around and in between the seams......then I put seam sealer along the seam and painted the patch.......I didn't want to cut out the panel as it wasn't really that bad....just thin, and since the floor pan had the undercoating from new......I didn't want to deal with that mess
of making it match........Remember.......this is a "Driver"...and it will be lowered....so when I'm finished it's gonna get Dirty underneath......"And".....Stay that way......LOL



The windshield frame is like the day the car was built.....absolutely no rust....



Got the car out of the garage and into the trailer ready to go to the body shop.......Just waiting for the phone call







Gonna order Ridetech Coil Over suspension (tubular control arms etc.) that should lower the car a couple of inches and 4 wheels disc brakes......

Very cool...RideTech guys are great! We used their stuff for a few of the Polaris Rangers that we had (at the place I used to work at) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
