So I started off checking for rust in the usual places- Thankfully the front inner sills were as solid as the day they were made.
I wire brushed everywhere the fender will cover/ hide when it goes back on, cleaned it, then shot it with spray on undercoating.
I will use the heavy duty stuff on the rest of the wheel wells later.

Right fender- needs some cleaning. This side has multiple longer bolts
along the hood side that went through to hold the "bonnet" release cable. |
|
Very happy about this side also- a lot of these are completely rusted out- none on this one! |
|
I cleaned the dirt off, wire wheeled it, then sprayed the inners down with brake cleaner.
Brake cleaner leaves no residue or oils behind. |

The spray got a little thick where the upper inner splash shield is. I have new upper and lower seals from
Moss show up to finish it out. The humidity is horrible, so it will take til tomorrow to dry. Then I can get started
on bolting on the splash shields and cleaning/ priming the inner fenders. |
