Fixing water damage on the old Dodge (pics)

[Spectramac]

I got started on my summer project the last couple days. I found this thing on Craig's list for $100 and drove it home. It's a 78 Dodge Monaco 23' with a 440. Here's what it looked like when I brought it home.





Ok, time to dive in!











Oh man, I can't believe the huge bag of rusty screws I have already! It's actually not as rotten as I was thinking it was going to be. Just in the corners, where the screws need to be. Still so much to remove....

I only paid $100 for it, can't go too far on that. :B

I'm hip deep in the left side now. Carnage pics tonight! 😉

Been there, done that. Scrapped the old Dodge a few years later. Looks like the same model I had. Plan on rebuilding the attic, too. Should have spent the time & money traveling.

If you have a gas drip while filling, there's a piece of flex tube between the filler and the first metal section.
