Thanks guys, for the moral support. This stuff can get kinda frustrating at times. I have been working on this for two weekends already, starting on the inner console replacement. Grinding and cutting is all I have been doing. During the week, I practice welding scrap metal together. I just can't seem to make a good "spot weld" when I drill a hole smaller than 3/8". I was wondering Dave, did you have to do a lot of welds over, or were you pretty good the first time?
