I was trying to avoid removing all of the Factory Black Tar-like seam sealer stuff but it doesn't dress well.
No big deal, just more time spent scraping and wire-brushing to get it right before paint.
Opinions anyone? I am new at this and could use some pointers.

Liquid nails is cheap and easy if you are not doing an OEM restoration. I spent $35 on a can of seam sealer and it flaked off, the liquid nails is permanent.

When dry, it's not flexable right?
I should have asked before heading to the Auto Body and Paint store!
Thanks

Dutchman Axles ordered!
Thanks, Doctor Diff
aprox 23.5"
I still have to install the rear Super Stock spring hangers and order the shocks.
is a sale going on at Jegs or summit?

I started my thread!! check it out Ricky. im tired so ill post more progress tomorrow!

Juan
I look forward to your build.
, I have that '69 notchback for parts so don't forget.

Whoop whoop awesome, if I find anything I need I'll keep you posted. At this point I probably need cosmetics. Which I'll probably buy new. Headliner, windlace, wheel well chrome trim, a pillar mouldings...etc....

I've been hand sanding the trunk area for a week and I have discovered I DON'T LIKE SANDING!
I don't know if I will survive this part of the project, I'd rather be working on the Rear Spring Hanger installation.
I may come back to address the trunk later.

Yea I still have to do my whole car, considering on just letting the body shop do everything. I've gotten far in my build, tubs doctordiff axles etc.. haven't had time to post pics. maybe tonight.

Drilling the Rear Spring Hanger holes to 1 1/8" is not going to be easy. No room between the spare tire well and the inside frame rail, I am only able to drill from the outside-in just fit between the lower quarter panel to frame rail. I rented an Angle Drill from my local TrueValue Hardware Store and I found my new Best Friend!
A Monster Step Drill Bit!

Its very easy to open the outboard side with the step drill bit but you have to remember to stop at the correct diameter
Once I had the outboard hole done, I used a Die Grinder through the outboard hole to enlarge the inboard side of the frame rail to fit the shackle bushing.
Is it me or does Murphy visit everyone?
The inboard frame rail is double thick!
So much fun as you grind to be showered by Hot Sharp metal slivers! OH THE JOY

The rear shackle tubes burned in and moving on to the narrowed diff assembly.
I need to mock up the spring pad placement and set the installed pinion angle.
I need to find out what pinion angle is best for my set-up.
Should I try for the stock degree angle or maybe a little down from stock angle?
I'm installing new Mopar SuperStock springs from Mancini Racing.

Thanks Doctor Diff!
The Dutchmans fit perfectly!

more progress on the Narrowed Rear install.
Installing the shackle bushings at the rear leaf spring eye's had me wanting to give up! The eyelet is too small to fit the rubber bushing in and the shackle shaft. work the bushing in and then try to press the shackle shaft in. IT DOES'NT FIT! Called my brother "Model Maker" and he said why don't you just mill them down a little? ......Hey, that's exactly what I was thinking

Look at the difference in the Stock "A" body 8.75 and the narrowed.
I have to keep the stock one complete while the mods are done so I can roll the car indoors during the week. I'm getting really good at R&R of the rear assembly

Mocked up, adjusted pinion angle and measured 20 times. Henry and I both gave it the thumbs up and I tack welded the spring perches on.
Now to disassemble it once more for final burning in of the perches and sand blasting/cleaning and painting.

Perfect fit and sidewall clearance. No, those aren't the wheels, just for fitment.
Another view.

I am ready to take it to Henry's and use his MillerMatic 180
My Lincoln ProMig might do a good job but it would be at it's amperage limit and I don't want to chance it, besides sand blasting is messy and I would rather mess his shop up than mine

While I have the rear assembly out I might as well finish the undercoating and sealing of the wheel tubs.
I modified my sand blaster gun to spray Rustolem Truck Bedliner coating. It worked great except my arms got tired of holding a gallon can up and following around the spray gun. Maybe a longer suction hose would have been better.
