5. Mold the related parts. • Level and finish the burrs left on the welding surfaces with a sander. • Fill all drilled holes by MIG or gas welding. • Use a hammer and dolly to even out the welded areas of the lower dashboard, front side frame and dashboard upper side member. • Ventilate when spraying paint. Most paint contains substances that are harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Read the paint label before opening the paint container. • Avoid contact with skin. Wear an approved respirator, gloves, eye protection and appropriate clothing when painting. • Paint is flammable. Store it in a safe place, and keep it away from sparks, flames or cigarettes. • Remove the undercoat from both sides of the weld- ing section and expose the steel plate using a disc sander. To prevent eye injury, wear goggles or safety glasses whenever sanding, cutting or grinding. • Clamp to the front side frame with vise-grips and squill vises. NOTE: Apply the spot sealer to the welding surface when spot welding. • Clamp the front bulkhead with vise-grips. • Measure the front compartment diagonally. NOTE: Use of a positioning jig is recommended (see page ). 6. Set the new front wheelhouse and damper housing. • Apply body paint to both sides of the new front wheelhouse and damper housing. • See Paint Repair section. • Spot weld several points in the clamped sections, and temporarily attach the front wheelhouse and damper housing. To prevent eye injury and burns when welding, wear an approved welding helmet, gloves and safety shoes. 7. Check the dimensions, temporarily install the hood, front fender and headlight, and check for differences in level and clearance. (cont'd) Main Menu Table of Contents |
