Jon and Dad took another ride to Mustangs Unlimited in Manchester CT. It was about an hour and a half ride. Two big gulps and 2 pit stops later we made it. We are working on the cowl and needed the patch panels for the drains on both sides, as well as two firewall patches, and the frame to cowl connector that was shot after removal. We forgot to get the POR 15 rust inhibitor and the weld through coating from 3M. We were lucky to find them in Fall River when we got home. We took some pictures of some nice cars we saw at Mustangs Unlimited a great place to roam around and dream. We got home and started cutting out the bad metal. It isn't getting any better the more we open up the more we find. I think we are probably going to pull the dash and wiring and go all the way down to a shell and start from there. Our welding friend Al is going to start soon on the floors, our job is to get as much grinding and removing of the rust and bad metal as we can. Tried some spot welds and I am not having much luck. I seem to be burning through the metal. I'm sure there is a technique I need to learn.. We are going to find some new sheet metal to practice on this weekend.
