I did find a couple of temporary screw holes from fitting the floor section. These will get welded tomorrow.

Simply amazing! That whiteboard is two years of work and you cranked through it without cutting corners in what... 9 months? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)


Thanks, Brent. I got started seriously in October, so I count 8 months. Of course, most of the big jobs are not listed here. I wonder if the owner will pay for my time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Anyway, the last photo of the list with all the metal work done!

Back to grinding today. My focus was inside the frunk.

Onto the trunk interior today. Grinding welds is getting old.

I also took care of the spot welds along the top of the right fender, in the trough.

The corners are a little ugly, since I had to build up the weld to close jagged seams.

Right side.

I took care of all weld grinding (as least the ones I can reach) in the engine compartment today. Most of that was along the seam on the rear edge of the floor panel, where I duplicated the factory edge weld in addition to some plug welds.

I notice you’re using an electric die grinder with carbide burrs. How do you like this setup for grinding welds? I’ve been alternating between using a 4.5 inch angle grinder and a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel for grinding welds. The dremel tool is great for precise control, but it’s very slow. Been contemplating buying the same tools you show in your pictures.
Thanks,

I like it very much. It cuts quicker (beware!) and reaches into corners. Of course, it also leaves a more irregular surface unless I am VERY patient and careful.
