Hell hole. I left the battery tray off for easier acess to the frame rail. I'll weld it in later

Pergatory, the driver's side. This was much harder. there were no preformed pieces and the engine lid release was in the way.

I wouldn't say it's beautiful but it's the best I can do and I'm pretty happy with it.
The pieces from Restoration Designs are wonderful. Definitely a must for something like this. I still can't weld for sh*t but I'm getting better. Fortunately, grinding sort of comes naturally for me. Lota work but pretty satisfying.

Way to go Dave!!
I'm prepping my engine for the drop, sometime soon. Everything on the top side is ready, just need to start taking things off the bottom side now.
Hey, is that battery tray support welded yet in your photo? I was just wondering if that paint on the support is that "weldable primer" I've heard about before.
The answer to your question are yes and yes. I also have a rattle can of weldable primer and I sprayed all the surfaces that touching in the weld with primer before welding.
