Mid February - Time for a Nose Job

Following the work on the fender rails, more rust on the front meant that I had to drill out and remove the front trim rail. Thankfully this is a part that I can still acquire as a replacement, so this went pretty smooth. 


Beyond repairing the rail.


The rail removed. It was then treated with Metal Ready for the rust, then covered in weld through primer.


And here it is, all welded up. Toughest thing about this was getting the rail to stay tight to the chassis while welding it. I ended up using wood to make small jigs that I could clamp. For a metal car, wood keeps coming in pretty handy.
