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)

Bob, I agree, your work looks great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) . Keep it up. I have not made the trip to Hershey, but plan to in the future. I've mostly been lurking here the last year or two. I am hoping I may have my car roadworthy by next year as well. I have 2 boys in college, so even though I have time, my budget is the limiting factor.

Bob, that is a thing of beauty! I'm kinda jealous .... I've haven't been that intimate with either one of my cars.

I am cursed with a name that rhymes with way to many words. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks to all for the thumbs up on the work being done...this is the biggest car project I have ever taken on. The prudent thing to do would have been to bail out and buy a good shell, but I got attached to the car. I hope to do it right, once, and then just enjoy driving it.

Got some more work done over the weekend.

New channel formed and welded into front trunk channel....

Before:

After:

A shingle tab blew off the neighbors house, they werent looking for it, and I needed a new tar plug for the inner long, as I melted my old one while welding. Scraped most of the stones off of it...not show quality, but will work fine for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Jack post support welded on with advice from the world in another thread:

More weekend progress...outer clam shell welded on after coating inside with weld thru primer/rust encapsulator & seam sealing the heater tube. I still had part of the original clamshell in the front, so I was able to index proper fore/aft placement by taking measurements from the cheese head screws in the bottom of the still intact drivers side clam shell. A long straight edge along the bottom kept it true horizontally.
