Some brand X metalwork...

Helped a friend of mine today on my day off. 1966 Fairlane, factory 390 4 speed car. One of the straightest, minimal rust bodies I have ever seen in a 66'-67' Fairlane/Cyclone. It needed a small patch behind the passenger rear tire, we installed that panel first. Then made a piece for the lower rear corner. Started running out of time, but still managed to get the front floor pan and toe pan tacked in.

[flash]

Those are my favorite year Fairlanes .

Nice work.

When I was cutting out one of the rusty floor sections yesterday, I had a grinding disc come apart and grab a hold of me. Hit me mostly in the ribs.

First picture is yesterday afternoon, second is this evening. It's more like a burn than a cut.

[flash]

Damn ,that looks painful.

[carpoor]

It stings a little...

Wow that sux. I can't say I haven't gone something real similar tho.

[shadowgray396]

Ouch. Glad its not worse.

[carpoor]

Round two tomorrow, hoping to get the rest of the floor in and at least tacked into place. Then I told him not to call me until he is ready to block sand it. :D

[carpoor]

Got it knocked out today and no new injuries. I left it at a point where he can easily take it from here.

Looks like you are in the right direction. Any more updates?

[carpoor]

Nothing new to report. He is restoring a 72' GMC truck for a friend. He traded his labor for the Fairlane. The GMC is scheduled for paint tomorrow. After that he should be able to get back on his car. I am hoping to help him get it in paint by the end of this year.

He text me this picture about three hours ago. Welding in new seat braces.
