I’m almost done that piece of long I’ve promised you forever.

What color are you thinking.

So spent about 6 hours over the last 2 days here and there with my son. He completed plug welding the tunnel repair to the floor pan and I did the hard part of butt welding the new flange to the tunnel.. We then welded the "cowl to pan" area where the cowl base meets the new floor pan area.. It is all secure now and now once again to grind the area and some cold galvanized spray.. Getting very close to being done with the inside of the car.. We also used the rapid strip wheel on the inner firewall.. My son complained about the sparks and dust but he did well .. Now my oldest is showing interest.. Probably a good bonding thing for all of us.. And thank god for grinders for taking care of beginners welding sins of youth..Attached Image

Well after allot of thought on how to reproduce the look of the factory inner longs as I used 14 gauge that I bent up I decided to reach out to a few that have done this and I came up with a simple buck.. My plan is to plug weld these over the longs.. I know that is how allot would do it as they prefer to hammer it out in the parent material but I cnc bent the longs and they were perfect so this is my answer. Also keep in mind this car won't ever be worth what a real six is or even a rust free original car..

This will be epoxy primed and then seam sealer over that and will be undetectable once completed..

The sample that is in the picture is 1st go at it.. Next week they will be more refined.


I somehow missed this post when it hit the forum. Probably because I was having dinner with the wife for our anniversary. I think this is a great solution. I wish I had built my bucks the way you did. 14 gauge plus these? She should be hell for stout! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I imagine it will be nice to take a break from bending over while doing all that welding and work with nice, new parts at workbench level!

I want to get the engine closed up so I can clear some shelf space.. In pieces it takes up allot of space.

The engine will be running before the car is driving.. My current time frame is a roller by spring with the underside finished.. I keep hearing that"we should move into the city" so I need to prepare for that..

So a pretty slow week on progress this was hoping to have heads on but the piston circlips didn't make it to me yet.. Pretty disappointing but it is what it is.. I did button up any pin holes in the flares and weld on the driver side carpet hold downs.. Car is really coming along.. Very little welding left to do..
