So here it goes, my project thread (2nd gen)

Looks great! My welding cart was big too, but once I got parts, tools, etc. on the lower shelves it became pretty small! There's certain tools like my magnetic angles, clamps, and 4" angle grinder that I just can't leave off the cart, so it stays full.

What I did on the other one was take different lengths of 1/4-20 socket head cap screws and heat them so I could bend them into a hook on the cap end. I have them welded around the outside. So my cart has a bullet level, fire extinguisher, wire brush, 4" grinder, one for the ground clamp, a 1" pipe coupling to hold the mig torch, a spool of 0.023" wire, and a spool of flux core. It doesn't even have a shelf. The two 90* magnets I have I stick where ever and I have about 3 c-clamps that I just clamp to it.
When I get the new one sorted I'll snap a pick to show you how I set it up. It helps that its made from 1/4" wall tubing. I need to get the tank holder a bit taller and come up with a handle. Then cut the casters off the old one. To be honest i forgot I made it last night or i would be out there right now. But I have already hit the shower so fuget aboud it.

When I was negotiating for the 80' I asked for as many pics of this area the previous owner could stand to take. It helped the car was in pieces and I could get a real good look from pics. That is what sold me on the whole car really.
I was sent a letter on my 78', if you want anything off it let me know because it may be getting scrapped soon.

I didn't really want anything hanging off the sides of my cart since room is precious anywhere I use or store it. I also wanted a cart that was tall enough that you don't have to kneel or squat to set it, or change wire. I bought the $49 HF cart after looking at it, and seeing how it was set up. Only thing I changed was to bolt my welder down to the tray, so it wont ever get knocked off, and change the front wheels to a taller wheel so it rolls over little imperfections easier. It also makes it easier when you have to roll it on terrain that's rough to get to a welding site. That's another reaon I went to the Miller 140 that's 120v.; wanted to be able to use it anywhere I could find a 20a. 120v. ckt.

yeah i plan to pull my carpet and rip my seats out tomarrow between coats of paint on my firewall,so maybe i can atleast get my engine and tranny in.cant start trying to put my 71 camaro front end on until i get my engine in so might as well start working on interior a little.just cant wait to see how my engine looks in it with all my firewall and subframe freshly painted,also was wondering if i could use my por-15 white as a base paint for my blue pearl paint,or if i need to primer it first. sorry for so many questions.

10x23 isn't bad. Its not 26x32 bwahhh. Sorry just kidding.
I wouldn't use POR as a base for anything if I had a choice. I don't really like even though its all over my car. I painted over what I couldn't get off.

Alright real progress tonight. Finally got all that nasty undercoating off or is it inner coating if its in the car? I also pulled the rear window out. Which is the first time in my life I have ever done it with breaking the glass. Apparently I wasn't bleeding on it enough the first few times I tried. I slipped and shaved my thumb knuckle something fierce. Ok now for the pics, I got my camera working too!
I feel for you guys doing rust repair. The toe pans couldn't be any better could they?
Not a spec of rust.
