Impala Monday???

It's nice to have some things that I can do myself at home.  Since we removed the rear bumper, I could now take it apart and clear all the brackets and hardware. 

Old Rusty Bracket

 

 Grinding the rust

Finished Painted Brackets

LH Fender Repair (Lower)

Today we repaired the rear LH fender.  Check out the pictures below.

 

Removed the rear bumper.

 Old rusted out part of the quarter panel

 Cutting out the bad section

 Riveting the new metal on the old panel

Welding the panel in place

The finished product.  The next step is to grind down the welds and body puddy the seam.  See you next Thursday!

P.S. One more body shot

Paint! Floor Pans, Door Pillars etc.

I was able to do some painting today.  The floor pans, door pillars, toe boards all got a nice coat of Rustoleum flat black paint.
