same techniques with the exception of the seam sealer. For
the interior I used a 3M product in a tube along with it's
fairly sophisticated gun.
A view of the back area including the diff bridge shelf,
the drive shaft tunnel and the rear floor boards after
the first coat of rust killer.
A view of the front floor boards and fire wall.
A shot of the wire wall and front bulkhead. I didn't strip the
plenum as it really didn't need it. Just visible through the
large round hole for the heater fresh air intake and the
two rectangular holes for wiper wheel box access, is the
plenum interior. This is a place of very difficult access and
I spent a lot of time attempting to clean and finish it.
The rear shelf area now in primer.
The passenger side foot well.
The drivers side foot well. Note that the plenum also got
a primer coat.
Here's a shot of the entire front area. The second coat of
primer has already been applied and the seam sealer has
also been applied using the 3M sealer gun and tube system.
The rear area. The seam sealing necessarily goes pretty
fast.
A shot of the 3M seam sealer gun, much like a caulking
gun, just much better made and much more expensive.
It supposedly better regulates the pressure and therefore
the bead, I still had some difficulties with it and the beads
weren't always as pretty as I would have liked. Of
course, it doesn't really matter much in the passenger
compartment as they won't be seen. It's a much
different matter in the engine compartment.
The drivers foot well, a close up of the sill detail.
A shot of the firewall and front bulkheads.
A tighter shot.
And finally the top coat goes on, the culmination of months
of work.
The rear area with it's top coat.
Another shot of the drivers foot well.
The drivers side rear floor board and drive shaft
tunnel in the fore ground. The Emergency brake
handle bracket is sitting on top. The Emergency
brake later became it's own project, more on that
later...
A finale shot looking back into the boot.
