My '75 (the Bat Mobile) has been sitting idle in my shop with the drive train out for a few weeks now.
 Prior to installing the new 2056 that Richard built for it (sitting at the right in above pic), I wanted to clean up the engine compartment. As I was removing the old sealing rubbers, I remembered that some repairs were needed (the car had A/C at one time and the dealer hacked up the passenger side engine shelf).  I just acquired a new engine shelf, battery tray and support and am looking for a mobile welding guy (with 914 experience) to cut out the old, weld in the new and a make a couple of patches on the firewall. Prefer someone close to the South Bay area ... any recommendations? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Welding is an interesting sport. I welded at the top left side of the tray first, then over on the right. Immediately the inner fender blows through right there. I had to chase it up the wall.
As someone once told me, it's like trying to weld up a screen door. But in the end, with a little clean up and some paint, it will last another 30 some odd years. Or more since a liquid lead/acid battery won't live there. Good workin' with ya, Mark. |
