I forgot to post this when I did it, but I bought some washers at Lowe’s and put the license plate lights back on the car.

It’s not much, but it’s the first thing I did to the car other than putting the license plate on.

The other things I need to do:

Weld the floor

Install some more trim bits.

Drive it.

Such a pretty old car!

Do you have welding experience?

Th anks! I'm super in love with it. Can't wait to get out on the road for the first time.

Funny story about that... I took a welding class in college and passed, but I never got a turn with the torch. It was always taken, so I just worked on other shop stuff like CNC machines the whole time. Apparently that was good enough for the professor to give me a B.

So... yes-ish? I learned how to weld. I just haven’t done it yet. I also don’t really remember how....

I might go the cheater route and just drill holes and bolt some license plates over the rust holes.

There’s only one way to really learn! And this is a great kind of project to do it on: one with low stakes.
