i might be mentally ill



OK, its just getting worse and worse.  
   So i just about have one side of my 65 cornet 4 to 2 door conversion
   done, thanks  to the tutelage of the great wally Breer and lots of
   help and photos .
    but it was  really bugging me that i couldn't  see what kind of
    shape the INSIDE of the rocker panels were in, so I braced up the
    rocker area from below and sliced the top of the sill plate out with
    a cutoff tool, and have a look-see.  
   Of course they were fine in there, but i slapped in some rust
   converter, blew it all around  with compressed air to drive it into 
   cracks and gaps  followed by two coats of rustoleum and more
   compressed air.
       In the areas i couldnt get my arm into thru my "inspection panel"
         , I just put the rust converter into an oil pump can and shot a
       ton of the stuff in thru every hole i could find and used more
       air to move it around.  did the same with the rustoleum.  I
       originally tried a  plastic pump spray bottle but the fluids were
       too thick and it couldnt handle it, but the oil pump  can worked
       great.
   I welded the plate back in , ground it down nice and u cant even tell
   i was ever in there.
   I thought for sure the rockers would tweak and bend  with that piece
   of metal out  but  everything looks fine and the door shuts just like
   before.
   So now i can sleep!! 
    no wonder it takes me forever to finish anything with all the little
    perfectionist ideas i come up with
