You do quick work, you're making me look bad! :lol: I'm glad you decided to keep it and rebuild. Hope you're on the road soon.

It probably didn't seem that way to you, but that was fast work. Great job!

I've tried grinding the welds but have had far better and quicker results using resin fiber discs. I knock the welds down with 36 grit and then follow up with 120 grit. If I want it to look real pretty, I follow up with 220 then 400 grit. I use the discs from Benchmark Abrasives. They are thick...

Nice job. You could start a business selling those.

I'm looking for a good sheet metal brake that won't break the bank. At the moment I need to make the top piece of the outer rocker panel where the sill plate is attached and am using 18ga sheet metal. It needs to be 34 inches long, however a metal brake that can bend a piece of 18ga that long...

Dude, so sorry this happened to you. It looks very salvageable and I hope you go that route. That was always my greatest fear. Mine is all torn apart right now, but I already have all new harnesses for when I put the car back together. I will take Paul73's advice and put a battery kill switch on...

They offer a 5 gallon pail for $14, but want $114 to ship it to me. I think I'll stick with vinegar.

That .484 sounds sweet! What do you have your timing and idle set to?

I can't find molasses in my area. Where can I order it and what should I order?

Well son of a gun. AMD told me in November that they had no plans at that time to supply that piece. Merry Christmas!

I have had success using a 2:1 ratio with a cup of salt for each gallon of vinegar. Of course it depends on what you are de-rusting. This has worked well on sheet metal, frame rails, brake drums etc. As hdwrench mentioned, it can be corrosive so you need to experiment. I will give the molasses...

Do you all really prefer molasses to a vinegar and salt solution?

Are they spot welded together?

Spoke with Kevin at AMD this morning. He said they don't carry the 3rd piece and that he doesn't see any announcement that they will soon carry that part and that it would be another year if they were planning on producing it. Sorry for the bad news.

Yes it does help, thanks. I will give AMD a call tomorrow for you. It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't carry all 3 pieces. I'll see what they say and let you know.

I haven't called them yet. Could you post more pics showing all 3 pieces?

That will be one sweet ride when it's done. Wish I had seen this before I bought my project. Good luck!

When I started my project, I had been told that no one made reproduction A-Pillars. That's why I was so excited when I saw AMD had started carrying them. I am going to give them a call and ask if they plan on carrying the third piece. If they won't our only choices would be to fabricate them...

Interesting. I haven't started working on my A-Pillar's yet, so I didn't know they consisted of 3 pieces. My hopes are dashed. Why wouldn't AMD produce all 3 pieces?

Where do you get rid of it?
