1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 – Door Skin Replacement

May 10, 2007

More work completed on Jeff G’s 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1.

The photos of the rust hole on the lower lock pillar was cut out and a patch panel welded in on May 3rd. I will post a “completed” photo in the next post.

The photos of the door skin replacement was done on May 5th and 6th. Jeff got the skin from Mustangs Unlimited in Manchester CT. I will upload a photo of the completed door fitted to the car in the next post.

The photos of the left rear floor pan are from today, May 9th. He adhesively bonded the panel in yesterday and welded it in place today giving about 24 hours for the adhesive to dry. It is 3m panel bonding adhesive. You don’t want to glue your tools to the floor by accident because chances are you wont get them off. The weld seams were ground down and filled over with Polyester Rage Extreme.

The rear frame rails were coated on the inside prior to the floor replace with internal rust inhibitor. This was applied with a 3 foot spray wand.
