Progress, The 2011 Hershey show gave me another shot of motivation Options

I have now attended the Hershey Porsche show three times without an operational teener...NOT being part of the caravan is getting old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Finally got my new inner long welded in with doubler plates on all seams. Verified the incline of the new long with an incline gauge (with the car level) following Jeff Hails build thread. Door operates well! Entire inner long has been coated with rust encapsulator.

Still have a long way to go but I am hoping that this was the toughest part.

Thanks to Scotty B, Jeff Hail, and everyone else who has posted a build thread on this topic. I have read all of them & learned a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

My welding skills have improved significantly, but it still seems like I spend a ton of time grinding...

Tying the firewall, floorpan, and inner long together has been a challenge. Two small patch panels were fabricated and welded in where the outer firewall curves rearward to meet the inner long. Final piece welded into the floorpan where it meets the long. Took the wire wheel to the whole area to prep for a light Ospho treatment in one area and I hope to get this area primed tomorrow:













Tomas donated a used set of plastic MC lines to the cause as my originals were accidently strafed by a wire wheel. While the Ospho was drying, I installed them, taking any means possible not to disturb the new master cylinder. Thanks Tomas! Started cleaning up my rusty muffler bracket as well:
