Looks good and solid, that's for sure.

Took about 3 going overs to get mine clean. Wear good glasses, because when it drips....it will find an eye.

So far its just 32 years of grime and gunk.  no rust anywhere.

Man, That black paint is awesome. What size tires are on your car? Was your exhaust a mail order or muffler shop?

I think my local muffler shop charged me less than $75 to weld everything up. He said at the time that he actually enjoyed doing it because he wasn't standing on his head with welding slag raining down on him.  ::)

Did some cleaning today.  Whatta drag. Laying on your back on cold concrete with arms over your head all day Blowz but it has to be done I guess. Floors are pretty clean though. No rust. I was going to undercoat them but I think I will just touch up some spots and leave them original.

Cleaned the driveshaft today. Used Scotchbrite and mineral spirits to remove all the dirt and get it down to bare metal. Repainted the stripes. Looks almost new now. ;D  I notice that this has the ORIGINAL u joints still installed.  :o 140,000 miles on this car. Must have been very easy miles. I think I will replace them.........Just because!.

yup! to remove you have to melt it out, more of a wax and usually the rubber dust caps will pop and send the cap flying....
