Four days and no new pics.

I'm sorry guys, winter just doesn't want to give up it's grip on us. We have been dealing with terrible mud problems at home (driveway) due to frost coming out so late (ground frost) and a wet spring. I've been on my tractor most nights trying to shape up our driveway so that we don't need 4 wheel drive to get out to the paved county road.
We are supposed to be getting 4 loads of gravel delivered this week which I will have to spread and shape correctly with the tractor so it sheds off the water like it should.
We also have a graduation to go to this weekend (so proud of her) my neice (I call her my neice but she's actually my cousin's daughter) is graduating.
Next week, next week I should be able to get back after it. And there is a slim possibility I will be able to work on the car some tonight.
Something clever here.

Four days and no new pics. Yeah, Dave! Thousands of us wanna be car guys are living vicariously through your posts! Don't keep us hanging!  Seriously Dave, I do enjoy seeing you show how to do this properly -- which is a long way from how I could do it! John

Too kind John.
I am not sure about "properly" but I try to do what seems right with what I know at the time.
With any luck, the next time I encounter the same issue I know something a little bit better and do it that way instead.
I'm always looking to learn stuff too.

Like so many others - I'm really enjoying 'watching' you rebuild this car. It's kinda like a really good 'reality tv' show!!

Junior this year.
Well I did a small repair at the door pillar/rocker intersection forward of the bottom door hinge on the passenger side of the car.
It's one of the reasons I pulled the fenders.
I didn't even know there were any problems up in that area but it is a typical area for issues with these B-bodies. Had to get the fenders off and even still the rust was hidden under heavy body seam sealer from the factory. Once we scraped that loose we saw we had a small problem there.
Just a little cut and patch, no problem.
No pics, sorry.

Still moving forward though, that is what counts Dave.

No plans to "upgrade" from the factory AM radio the car came with. That's fine though, I can pull down the same AM station I listen to in my 07 F150 which is a local classic rock station.
"car audio" is wasted on me, I have zero appreciation for it.
All these "reality" classic car build shows like overhaulin or the chip foose stuff...
Well besides the 20+" donk wheels they put on everything, the time and money thet waste on the hi tech stereo and even video crap makes my head spin.
If they were doing a car for me I'd tell them to save the money, don't bother with that crap because it's going straight to the pawn shop if they put it in/on the car.

I think the "383 Coyote Duster" sound system is good enough.
