Taking a time out on my rustoration project.
Decided to tackle my problem with the engine lid hinge on my other car. Late last summer I found the hinge was coming away from the body. Hinge wasn't cracked. Spot welds were still intact. The damn firewall had cracked. Right above the top spot welds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Have you tried a Blair Rotabroach? They make the best spot weld cutter. No, but those where cut with my new set of Rotacut sheetmetal cutters. http://www.hougen.com/cutters/sheetmetal/Rotacut.html Trying to make smaller holes, broke the 1/4 inch one off in the first hole.
