Today saw the rust around the windshield repaired. Actually, very little was needed, it was overall very good. Rain tomorrow, so the turd is tarped. I'll do repair on the heater box tomorrow, after I get some more hardener for the resin..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Also, I picked up some vinyl fabric today to recover the dash pad. It was a shock at the register, when the cashier says $90! Ibsay, but the roll is marked $10 p/yd, and I have two yards. Nope, the tag says 10 yards on the roll. OK, ring it up! But, I can get $15 returned as I don't need the spray adhesive, I had plenty already.
Anyway, the plan of action is to use the knotted wire wheel on the angle grinder to V out the cracks. Then fill with fiberglass Bondo ( it's what I have) then apply the fabric - backed vinyl.
Wish me luck!.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
