Ok I had my car media blasted and found something very interesting. On both sides of the floor board and one under the foot pedals there are round impressions with a half moon shape cut into them, total of five. Is this from the factory? What was their thought process on that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Thinking of welding them up.
Thanks in advance Al  |

The big round holes with the plugs in them were to hold the panel to the assembly jig. Once the body was assembled, the jig was removed and the plugs installed.
As for the small ones with the half moon cutout, I would doubt they were for spot welder access. That would require bending the metal before welding, and bending it back once done. Most spot welders on assembly lines are either big monsters with huge jaw openings, or they are built into the assembly jig. Maybe for drainage when they dip primed the chassis. |
