I noted that you said it had a motor that needed building. Why not just put in the motor from Christine that is new?

No Zach, the motor has already been refreshed and is waiting to go in. I may use the motor from Christine to go in the Bee for awhile and use it for AX this season.

QUOTE(saigon71 @ Mar 26 2012, 06:49 AM)  Thanks Bob, wish you were down here to do a little of your awesome fabricating. Hopefully we will get most of that done Saturday and with luck will finish up the metal repair the following weekend. Would be awesome to have the repairs made before Hershey so I can get it out of his shop. |

A little more progress from yesterday. Got a patch made and welded in. Still have to finish it and then start welding in the new panels. Pics in a few after I resize them.

Picture quality sucks today as I left my camera behind and had to use my phone.

Time for more pictures of our repair work. All but the back firewall done now along with some grinding to do. Should finish up next Saturday with a little luck.

A few more
 As you can see the replacement piece from Restoration Designs came up a little short so we had to improvise. We took some of the extra that we cut off the end and formed two L shaped pieces.  We then welded those in place to make it reach all the way and eliminate the gap we had. This also allowed for running a seam bead instead of spot welds which I believe is stroner.           |

Wouldn't be happening if it weren't for my friend Tom. He is doing 99% of the work and I mostly watch and do the grunt work and gopher stuff. I think he does damned good work for a college accounting professor.

With all the welding, make sure you check for squareness before you start putting stuff back on the car. You may need to bend it a touch to get door gaps right again.
Before you put the firewall in, take measurements and see if the tub warped at all. if it did its a LOT easier to fix now then it will be to fix when everything is back on. Learn from my mistakes... ;-) Zach |

You guys are really kicking ass Shoe!
I agree with Zach...you need to make sure that body stays true. I left my doors on so I could constantly check & adjust the door gaps. I am sure that someone has good measurements to use as well and will chime in. Keep it going! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
