I'm ready to cut into the longs (good cond Cal. Car) and excavate the heater materials, just wondering where the best area is to open up. There will be new sheet metal welded back at the longs in the interior. It's a track car, no heat. Show me some pictures, or some of your experience is appreciated !

Marty, weld lateral stiffening tubes in there. If I didn't have heater tubes I'd do that.

I was thinking the same thing, yet have the inner or outer be open, with a cover, so you could add weights into each tube if needed...two purposes...
