I tore into the long tonight. I first braced the door opening before making any cuts. In total I had to cut out about a 14 inch section of inner long.

The rest of the upper long doesn't look bad from the inside. The whole long will be treated with Ospho and painted before closing it up.

When cutting out the outer long I made sure to leave a section of "inner" material to tie into later for added strength.

Been working on some small stuff.

First, got one side of the engine done with P/Cs and head.

Attached Image

I also coated the inside of the upper long on passenger side. I first treated it with two coats of Ospho and then some internal frame coating. The outer section has already been fitted now I just need to weld it on. Pics to come.

Attached Image

Finally I started prepping for the floorpan. Its currently held in with some self-tapping screws. There are a few areas around the lower firewall that I have to repair before I install the pan but its getting close! Those seat brackets will also be modified to fit the non-adjustable passenger seat.

Got the upper part of the long installed and the jackpoint. I have a few welds to do in the "hell hole" and then I can install the battery support and tray. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Welded together.

I set the floor in place and made final trimming.

I started digging into the rear trunk area. I discovered the rear has been hit at some point. There was also some previous sketchy rust repair done to one corner. In the end I decided it was best to make some big changes.


Notice there is a scotch brite pad under the bondo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Notice the bump
