Then I had my welding discussion regarding “fusion”, heat & speed.
So we tried again...

After grinding some metal away and “adding” some, I got to the point where Ben said I should be safe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)
So sanded all, primered and seam sealed.

Pics of the 6 mount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) “fusion” location. I’ll need to primer and paint before this side gets buttoned up.

A small update before the Christmas holiday hits.
See how much garage time is available.
Dave stopped by this past Saturday to evaluate the left chassis issue.
So now we have a game plan. It will be nice to make progress on this critical
area and the suspension console.
Found out when Dave was cutting, that part of the existing long was not
a factory piece of metal! This was previously repaired even before I had someone address the jackpoint years ago,(another butcher job). I’d know since I’m still a hack at this.
The very outer edge of long just before the kick up
was a 1” X 14” strip welded in and attached to the floor.
Dave was suspicious, so asked me to strip the underside of floor pan in this
area. Somewhat clean metal with some pinholes. Thank the gods. Maybe that rainbow was a lucky sign. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I’m sure it could have been worse.

Placed another order with Restoration Design for the left
overlay frame stiffener with the kick up portion.
Ok that’s all for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I’ve addressed some holes left behind on the left engine shelf that occurred when I removed the motor mount. This left side is SO totally screwed up
I honestly can’t believe the carnage I’ve been driving around with the past 31 years.
Very hard to get a good pic of this area and keeping perspective of where the holes were.

Went back to the drivers side floor where the seat mounts. Thought I had this
buttoned up. No I didn’t.
Dave saw a few spaces under the mount. He has a good one to
use later. So I went ahead and removed the crap one.
I also cut out an area of perforations in the floor adjacent to mount.
Like I said, I thought i addressed this.....
Underside pic trying to find pinholes.

Sorry looking seat mount...fellas check these buggers, when Dave tackled his car
He said his seat was only attached by the inboard mount. Mine was pretty similar.
