    What to do...what to do...

    I went out and looked it over again. Wondering if I made a mistake buying it. I just bought a 74 Comet 2 door, been wrecked in the left front. After looking more closely at it today, it appears the frame may be bent worse than I thought. May just have to part this one out, and look for another one. This is the 6 cylinder car, not sure if it's a 200 or 250. Interior is in superb condition, so I hate to just junk it. These cars are getting harder to find....

    Polished the sill plates and put them back on. They have been off since I put the new carpet in last fall. Had to let the carpet settle into place....yeah thats it. ;)

    Trying to figure out what i should order to coat my floorboard and torque box repairs i'm doing. The torque boxes and floorboards are powdercoated, but what should i use to prevent any rust for reappearing after removing the coating for welding purposes? Should i use Rust Bullit or Eastwood products?

    I've never heard of weld through primer. I 'm guessing you spray everything with primer, let it dry, weld, and respray with primer? Time for some research! Thanks!!!

    Eastwood sells it in spray cans - I've used it on my own project and it works well :)
