Couldn’t resist a test a test fit of Restoration Designs
Outer long chassis plate. Fits beautifully. Can’t wait till it’s actually welded to the
chassis! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks for lookin in.

Great to see the progress! I think it's safe to say that there a lot of us here who find this thread extremely interesting, motivating, and educational.

Still wasn’t satisfied with that patch, went back at it.
Cleaned it up again finding more pinholes. I’m more pleased
this round. It’s solid again. I’m finding a balance between the welding and cleaning up with the grinder. I have been taking away too much parent metal, thinning it and creating my pinholes. It’s all up to experience I guess. As I’m sure all you experienced metal workers can attest. And we have a lot of skilled peeps on this forum I’m in awe of. I’ll hit the bottom with primer, paint and undercoating as usual.
Ok here’s the pics:

Lookin' good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I think the grinding is as tricky as the welding. I tended to have the opposite problem of leaving too much meat on the bone.

Exterior of floor area in question. Primer & Paint. I’ll undercoat it when all is wrapped up
on the chassis repairs.

Some surface rust lurking under the engine shelf.
I honestly don’t think it was hit with paint under here or very minimalistic amounts.
Looks just primer on engine rubber seal channel area.
Just sprayed some rust converter for now on the underside
of shelf. All this will be sanded again when the suspension console goes in.
