Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

2 minute(s) of a 383 minute read

Focused mostly on the firewall area today. I will be able to get most of the remaining work done Sunday before I bust out the sand blaster again and hit all the little hard-to-reach spots throughout the shell. Then I can work on the floor pans.  




You can see the area of driver side toe board that will need replacing.  




Here is the toe board I bought from a board member that will eventually go in (at least part of it will)

Getting the shell prepped for sand blasting this weekend. It's supposed to rain so hoping that happens tonight. While it might seem crazy, I really, REALLY, REALLY don't want sand getting into all the little nooks and crannies in the shell, so I taped off all the holes. Didn't take long though. Just heard of too many stories of people blasting their shell and then finding sand pop up here and there throughout the rest of the project. I am really trying to prevent it from f'ing things up when it comes time to paint.






And this arrived today. Decided to buy a NOS upper valence panel, but I am not quite ready to put it on. Wasn't too much either (WAY less than a re-pop). Probably because it has a VERY minor blemish on the left side. That'll be a snap to fix.
