I completed the front trunk floor welding last weekend and did some touch-up and grinding to smooth it out over the next few days. Still need to smooth the corners; waiting on Amazon to deliver a smaller roloc set.

I also filled in the four small holes in the floor. Why are they there anyway?

Here the almost finished shot. Needs minor smoothing. Not too bad I guess for the first time welding sheet metal.

The spare tire I purchased should arrive Tuesday, so need to figure out how to mount it vertically in the trunk wall this week.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I've been contemplating how to mount the spare tire for a while. I finally settled on a plan and completed the tire mount this weekend. I welded up the bracket shown below, and added a couple studs to the car to attach it to. Should work OK.

Didn't get to work on the project much this weekend. It's probably good though, because my welding was rather poor. It took a while, but I welded in the reinforcements today. I'll prime the area and weld the sections that I cut out earlier in the coming few days.

Completed this section of the project, so tomorrow I'll start fitting the oil cooler shroud, and figuring out a way to mount the oil cooler.

Cleaniing the garage this morning, and need to make space. I'm thinking about trashing the old four lug wheels. I have all four.

Anyone need them? I'm in SW Virginia in Marion.

Getting close to finishing the oil cooler mod. Made a template this evening, so tomorrow it turns into steel with a few minor changes.

The bottom section of the oil cooler shroud is nearly complete now; it just needs minor touch ups for fit. I'll be working on the oil cooler mount next, or maybe I'll load the car onto the rotisserie and get the bottom stripped and coated before it gets cold.

WOW!! These pipes are beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I first noticed the welding quality; Ben is truly a master. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Your spare tire mount is awesome! Totally stealing that idea!
