RPM 1,190 Report post Posted May 9, 2014 Just curious, instead of welding the upright of the dolly to the frame rail, why didn't you weld a horizontal flat bar or angle iron to the dolly and bolt it to the bumper bracket holes in the rail? Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takoarm 10 Report post Posted May 9, 2014 it was done by the media blast guy. I asked him the same thing. Truth be told the soda blasting he did was good but, his timescale and little things like this really pissed me off. In the big picture of things I don't think it will be a big deal. The Soda Blasting really was the best way to go and the car will be no worse for wear can't say that for sandblasting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MustangBobby 28 Report post Posted May 9, 2014 As a painter, I have to ask. Did they neutralize the soda, or just clean it and prime it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takoarm 10 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 Not sure Bobby. She is getting some additional body work done. On my end I ordered some power seats, rear seats, full console, deluxe panel inserts, and dash parts from Mustangs To Fear. Cant wait to get moving again.

Bob Unless I'm missing something. There is a piece of square tube bolted to the frame, the Dollie is welded to that. Isn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

takoarm 10 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Gets wired and plumbed in a couple weeks. I bought all new glass and power windows for it as well. I am deleting the heater and installing a kenwood double din navigation unit. Here in Southern California no need for a heater and if it gets hot just roll down the windows.
