Well, since I’m here…
While up on the scissor lift, I noticed that both horn trumpets were broken/missing. Plus, there was still one of those ice cream truck looking megaphones from the antitheft system that I needed to remove.
Removing the front bumper was easy enough, as were the fenders, except for a small tack weld at the very top rear section of each fender.
After removing the fenders, I noticed there was some light rusting on the chassis, so I wire wheeled the old Stone Garden material off in order to assess the damage.
As you can see, the damage wasn’t nearly as bad as I’ve seen on cars of this vintage, particularly from outside of California.
I chose to only remove the material following the wheel arch down to the lower rocker area, and after shooting a coat of self etching primer onto the bare steel, I applied a thick coat of new stone guard material
