It would be great to have everything together in one thread, like some of the project threads on this site. I wonder if a moderator could somehow combine them? This is the most epic Rebel Machine restoration documentation out there, keep up the excellent work!! Even better, you are working on a more desirable, more valuable solid color Machine, not one of those RWB ones.

Been doing some filler work under the rockers. Also the "LIFT" pad areas don't look like they were ever welded so I burned them in.

So nice to have gravity helping for a change!

I'm not a body man but since the car is upside-down it's a good time to lay some filler. Most body shops wouldn't bother working the underside so I'll do it before it goes there.

Found two more holes in the rear most brace just behind the tail pan.

Cue the welder.







All fixed.






Looks like someone tried to pull the car with a hook and chain here. More welding.




That's better.
