Well it has been awhile since I have posted about the car.
I ripped out the battery fender apron from American Designers(It was a piece of crap and didnt fit right). I then prepped the area again for the new piece that is a Chinese Import. It fit soooo much better and is totally useable with little work. It has been welded in and welds smoothed. A little bit of All Metal filler to smooth and that panel will be complete(Again). The engine bay repairs are close to being complete and ready for smoothing, priming, and paint.
I have installed the drivers torque box, floor support, and toe board. It took a little while as the American Designers Toe Board is a piece of crap that needed cut into 2 pieces and adjusted with a BFH to make it fit. This seems to be a ongoing thing.....American Designers sucks!!! Chinese import items are a better quality.
The drivers floorpan has been cut and trimmed to fit just right. I will be welding it in next weekend. The previous owner had replaced the floorpan before and there is a patch that is going to be needed. The statement measure twice, cut once comes to mind......
I have measured several other areas in preparation for them to be cut to install. The areas are driver side 1/4 panel, inner and outer wheelwells. Also the driver and passenger rear floors have been measured and are awaiting cut and install.
I have a current welder casualty that is really annoying. The welder is messing up and not feeding correctly every once in awhile so I have to undo it and refeed the wire. I also have to get a new tip for it.
Thanks for reading. I am making good headway and it is coming back together.
No pics but will be taking some next weekend when the floor is in.
