I have been having problems with the touch pad on my laptop lately. I could browse the web but impossible to process pictures. Now I have a mouse to do the dirty work for me.
Been working on the right rear tail light area. After using a wire wheel and drimmel bit to remove the rust and there was not a lot of metal left and I still had not done much on the inside of it. So, I was feeling brave and cut it all out as you can see below.
I fabricated a new piece and its tacked in place. Will do a little more welding around the outside of it and enlarge the holes some more. Fortunately for me this will never been since once the tail light in is place.
The last image in this post is the underside of the body. There are 2 rusted holes on either side but in the same locations directly under the rear seats. This is my next body related project. Both holes are in a place where they have to be worked from the underside. There is no access from the top.
Also I had a whiskey barrel top made with a Packard emblem on it. Barrel top art is popular around here along the bourbon trail.
