I welded several filler pieces into the steel unibody just rear of the doors in the rocker area and applied seam sealer and undercoating. I’ve got several cans of Eastwood rustproof coating that I need to spray into the rockers to prevent any future corrosion. The spray cans have 24″ long flexible nozzles to insert into box sections.

I ground down the rear fiberglass body seams where the spoiler is bonded to the main body panel and I also removed some interior reinforcing ribs that were interfering with the body fit on the steel chassis. I’m going to lay up a thin layer of chopped mat on the spoiler seam for extra reinforcement and then even it out with a skim coat of body filler. After I attach the rear body at the hinges, I need to cut the fiberglass ‘band’ at the top where it meets the steel body to pull the sides in slightly as the body is about 1/2″ too wide at the C-pillars.

Here are some pictures from a few months ago. Lots of adjustments in progress to the fiberglass panels.
