i have the engine out of my 66 mustang. found some rot where the lags hold the motor down. using a small drill it does not appear to go but a few inches for and aft of the holes. from my reading here i am inclined to cut the glass off the top get the rot out back to decent wood treat with cpes then bed new wood with epoxy. opinions welcome should i simply buy that west stuff thin with acetone for the treatment then use it normally mixed to bed the new wood and the new glass top. i dont like the glue a dowel in the hole idea. thanks philip ------------- philip thompson |

Phillip, Soaking the holes with CPES is an option as well as a thinned mix of anyone's brand of epoxy. Give it a try. Where are those pictures you promised?  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

You might want to use aluminum angle under the motor mounts after you cap off your repair. The angle will help spread the load. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |
