Spotweld drill !!  HAH!   I wish!

 

On the drivers side I just Air chiseled it out. It worked very well

The pass side the frame rail rotted off from a battery exploding and the first owner never washing it off.   So the Frame rail on that side is cut about 1" after the front swaybar.

 

I have another frame piece of a p-38 gremlin.

 

After I get the frame piece welded in and replacment valance weld in, then its on to

welding in the new radiator support, then fixing the fender.......... :(  I'll never get done!!!

I will have to take some pics tomorrow. Sounds like your having a blast. I already cutout and replaced 2 pannels on my gremlin. The front valance shouldn't be too hard of a job. YOu used a spotweld drill right?

Whelp,

 Went to a car show today and one of our club members was theer with the only amc in the 300 car show. A 70 BBO AMX. They won their class.

then home to the grem

 I painted the quarter black yesterday and checked it out today. There is a couple small shallow dents up near the fake vent on the quarter. They go up into the first fake vent so I will live with it. It would be too much work to reshape the vent indentation. It is hardly noticable. And it is a drag car not a show car.

 I sanded down the rest of the car today and I have one more spot on the drivers side A piller that has a rust hole near the top hinge mount. I will cut out the rust and weld in new metal. That will be the last thing to do before a final coat of NASON FUL-FILL primer and then block sand the whole car again and then paint!

 I hope to find a local paint booth to rent otherwise I have to use my buddies garage and I am not too keen on that. When we painted the Spirit there it got dirt in the paint.

 At the end of the day today I also cut the flange off between the header tubes and finished the porting of the gasket match.

 Tomorrow I have to have one tube weled, the welder missed a spot. Then hope tuesday to ship them out to jet-hot for coating.
