While Super In Law is building our new door braces I decided to do some housekeeping. I needed to cut out a few parts from the sheet metal that will be scraped.

Here's the new door braces. I want to be able to flip it upside down and not have to worry about everything staying in place.

Then I went after a bad spot on the bottom of the left wheelhouse that I didn't like.
It was just too thin.
So I welded in a patch.

Attached Image

Before grinder .............

Then I attacked cleaning up my crappy overhead welds from being on the 2 post lift. I haven't figured out overhead welding yet ........
Looks like my farmer welds back in Montana.

Attached Image

Tidied up ..........

Congrats! you saved another one! Whew.. that was a lot of work, just to read the whole 17 pages wore the heck out of me...
Its intimidating and impressive how much work it takes to fix typical rust issues, & how complicated the uni-body design is, doesn't make it easy.

Overhead welding sucks...you figured it out when you put the car on the rotisserie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Keep the pics coming.

I finished up welding the long to the front wheel well.
This is some of my best welds. Practice, practice ..........practice.

Now we'll move onto the back of the floor pan. This is going to be tricky.
We really over welded when we built up the car 12 years ago.

Time fly's. Its been 90 since I've touched the project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Changed stores again, so I've been busy bringing it up to my liking.
And I dropped the engine in my 911 to put in aluminum clutch parts.
Used flywheel from Rothsport and a Kennedy pressure plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hopefully today I'll get to weld up the clutch tube on my 73. Then I can restart the rustoration project.

I'm finally back. We started working on the clobbered up seam we created years ago on the floor pan to outside firewall. It's going to be a tedious process. I'm going to take it off about an inch at a time. A couple cross cuts got too deep. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Today I'll set up more light for the delicate surgery. Or maybe the Dremel if I can't get it right.

Sorry for the yellow tint. That's what I get if I don't turn off the halogen lamps before I shoot the pictures.
