Ok, here we are on day 6 or something of the War on Rust. Today, I am focusing on the inner wheel house, lower portion. I removed the outer skin and the inner structure. Before would seal this area up, I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions about what to do about the bottom of my interior longs. As you can see from the following pics, they are rotted on the bottom. I was kind of surprised that the car can rest on the jackpost here. The sides of the longs are redeemable, after some POR-15. Any suggestions? Should I just treat it with POR-15 and call it good? There door jambs are fine on this vehicle.

Problem is: the car's SHRINK when you start welding to the inside frame rails. We us a door jig. It replaces the doors and is adjustable. It *helps* keep the tub from shrinking up. The 2x4 idea ia pretty good but it doesn help you in any way keeping the tub from shrinking after you apply tons of heat.
I suggest taking some measurements and crossing them with numbers we have here on the site and making some kind of brace that goes to the top of the targa bar and down to the front of the center tunnel where it meets the firewall. Wedge a 2x4 in there if you have to and help keep the tub from shrinking. We have even over compensated and made the gaps bigger and then welded. When everything relaxed.. the measurements where dead on. B |
