Our 73 Mach1

Always love people’s creative use of Great Stuff. The driver’s side appears better for wear. A new lower, rear quarter. Most likely an outer wheel well. Maybe... Will see when I really get in there.

Ouch

Seems, the big washer at the door entry could be hiding something... Neuralgic position for rust issues!

We supplied stampings to Toyota for the Avalon. They had a squeak in the rocker box where the B post joined. We supplied the B post. Their fix was to shoot similar foam into the rocker box to stop the squeak. Toyota was big on putting band aids on instead of fixing the problem, lol. How they pulled the wool over so many peoples eyes and make them think it is quality baffles me. After all the deaths they caused with their throttle issues and then the air bag deaths you would think people would wake up.
I have a 1950 Ford that someone put foam in the rockers and then put bondo over that you find it everywhere. They use to put duct tape over the holes then bondo.

The hydro dipping of the interior is complete. Here are some during and after photos. Back a few posts are the before.

Turned out nice!

Very cool. I was considering getting set up with the system and making it a side gig. Pieces look great.

That’s what a few folks are doing out here. Hydrodipping out of their garage. I think we only have one shop that does it as a full blown business. With that the business charges twice as much and a lot of business comes in to the side gigs.

Dig through the containers today to start finding all the pieces I stripped from the interior. Time to get serious and get the rest cleaned up, painted/dyed, and ready to go. Plus a sneak peek at the hydro-dipped carbon fiber dash. I didn’t dig out the mounting hardware so that’s I’m doing my best to hold all the center dash together.

Yes, I still have that awesome 70’s chain steering wheel.
