ok, heres my new project. this is going to go pretty slow, until i can get some decent time to get work done... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I hate school. ordered metal, and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm glad i didn't pay alot for this car, cause i found 100 percent more rust than I expected. things that looked solid, fell apart. lots of fabrication work. But i'm not afraid to fabricate stuff. I gotten pretty good. here are some pics that are more recent. Hope you enjoy this thread!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) drivers side after digging

I like to "spot weld" the entire peice....as mentioned above work in 1" increments to "secure" the peice but that sheet metal gets SO HOT so fast that I find it easier to just do little"spot welds all the way and the metal does'nt have a chance to heat up enough for burn through....
Just my novice opinion.... |
