Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10

Next was the driver's side drip rail. My initial plan was just to fine cut out the bad spot with my dremel (red circle), then weld in a piece o metal, make it look like it fit, then paint. It was in a lot worse shape as I cleaned it up. Ended up taking out the entire top drip rail piece just past the curve (Red and purple arears). Underneath was in good shape, but as you can see, the piece was pretty shot. Ordered a new one from AMD. I cleaned up and put the eastwood on all the metal of the roof. I have decided to use panel bond, since my welding (especially on small stuff) is now real great. Once the part comes in, I may decide to pull the rest of the rail off and just put on the whole new piece on the driver side. Rest is in really good shape, so hopefully this will be it on the drip rails. I guess I will work on the carpet and getting the seats back in while I wait on parts and dryer weather
