More pics and need shop vac

 

ill take some more when i get the pieces of sheet metal cut.....i have a shop vac....well one from harbor freight....does the job well

 

With all that rust you should check for leaks in the cowl by pouring water in the vents by the windshield wipers.

 

good ideal....i will

 

All of my front floor pan repairs were due to a leaking cowl - I just looked at it as another thing to repair but now everything is solid like new again

 

dang its been a while since i did something to the car besides taking out to the driveway and back to the garage lol , anyways.

I got the brushable seam sealer and rust encapsulator from Eastwood, this afternoon i only had time to apply the seam sealer but probably tomorrow morning ill paint it.

Here are the pics, stuff is real good and real easy to, I am NO expert at this so it might not look that good but im sure is going to seal, i was prettty generous on the amount and still have half left in the can.

 

let me know what you think, its always good to hear somebodyelse's point of view

 

Looks like you did a good job fixing the floor rust

With your ignition switch under the dash and not in the column, your car is a 69 1/2 model not a 1972 like your avatar says

 

Yea turned out nice....better than i expect it....

Yea is a "69.5" the avatar has the info of when i joined and i was reeal close of getting a 72 grabber....but didnt happen thats why....i gotta change it, im actually pretty happy ibgot this one...its a 69 1/2 with factory a/c i like it

 

OK, I thought you might have not known LOL!

 

Your repair panels look great! You have far less rust repair than most people are able to get away with. Did you have a chance to check your cowl yet?

 

Yea i poured water thru the vents and i didnt see anything inside

 

so i got up early and painted the car. I really like the way it turned out....next....dynamat...maybe next month lol
