[DeTomaso] While I'm looking for tips.

[Stephen]

When I was undercoating the insides of frame, sills and the like I noted that there is not a positive make-up between the various parts of the inner fender and outer fender at the back of the front wheel well.  Looking inside the sills I could see grit and the like toward the front of the sill cavity using my handy borescope.  Got a piece of 3/4 inch hose, shoved it way up in there from the seat-belt hole, and sucked all I could out.  Then I worked to seal the gaps with the body and fender putty that stays soft - that folks use to seal seams.  Then undercoated over the whole thing.  

I also noted that a couple of the drain holes in the bottom of the sills were covered with the same kind of body putty - no clue why - pried that stuff out.  Then I undercoated the inside of the sill with Eastwood undercoating.

Need to write a tech article on all of that.

Dave,
Are you referring to small openings at the rear of the front fender wells and front of the rocker panel interiors?  If they are open, they have rusted away, which I think if common because wet material likes to pile up there.
Photos?

I need a  full set of braided brake lines for the stock calipers.
Before I drag out the flaring tools and go through which flare is which and so on
  - does anybody have a recommendation of a set from our vendors?

and

6143 just pumps any water or crap on the road directly into the rocker panels.
I don't see any obstruction there in the manual either.
- any recommendations? I'm happy to fab something that lets air through but blocks the direct spray..

thanks
dave
