Finally getting back to Taylor's project. Next part going is the lower portion of the fuel tank / shock tower panel.

After all the trimming and fiddling it's ready to go in. But there's always something. The left side lines up perfect. The right side not so much. It will need some creative tuning.

At quitting time the bottom flange is rosette welded in. And the center section is seam welded, smoothed and polished.

Bottom flange got pretty beat up from spot weld removal. It's not really meant to be removed

Finally have the front firewall / fuel tank support welded into place. I did have to cut out an additional thin section and patch it up.

Next, the big kahuna. The front bulkhead under the dash. It's going to be some tough work. The side flanges need some serious repairs.

You've got guts. That is an intimidating piece you are tackling there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Nice to see some progress.

1st order of business today. Test fitting the donor front cockpit bulkhead. It's got some twists and turns. But it went into the hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Decided to take on the tunnel issues first.
The clutch tube is disconnected in all 3 locations. The firewall, the shifter guide loop and the tunnel wall in front of the shifter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here's the firewall strap.

Here's the ripped out section.

Here's what the shifter guide loop should look like ............... minus the rust LOL

We'll start with the firewall first.
After a little work with some hammers, blocks and re-bar.

After some low power welding with my little 110 welder.

Test fitting the MiddleMotors firewall stiffener. The 72's that we've used it on before had the clutch tube hole in a higher location.

Another short day .................
Re installed clutch cable tube.
Started with installing Jack's shift loop replacement piece.

Tidied up the front strap area in front of the shifter.

Installed the clutch tube.

Time to fire up the torch. Brazed in with the Mapp torch. Could have been a bit hotter and faster. But didn't feel like breaking out the oxy torch.

Next onto the engine firewall. Even though I repaired the firewall I added the MiddleMotors firewall stiffener.

Next ......
I figured I'd get the trunk rail repaired before the bulkhead goes in. Easier to weld and much easier to add OSPHO and primer for long term protection.

The smaller hole(s) on the flat portion I welded closed. The new 141 lets me really make a small weld.
Attached Image

The vertical portion got a patch piece. Lots of trips back on forth to the sander to get a nice tight fit for easy welding.
Attached Image
I'm not going to over finish. Both of these corners will get sealed up with JB Weld or All Metal.

Left side will be a little more complicated. Damage goes into the piping slot. But having the dash and bulkhead out gives me good access to the back side.

Finished up the other trunk/cowl/fender corner. I'm going to look at adding some additional Dremel bits to my tool assortment.
Attached Image

Backside. No bulkhead or dash. Makes it much easier.
Attached Image

Using the Millermatic Mode on my 141. Really lets me dial it in. It gets pretty tricky some
time with old metal and hidden seal sealer.

Now on to the dreaded bulkhead. Lots of spot weld cutter holes to build back up for a
new 1/4" hole.
I'll ring them. Then sand/grind down. Then drill a new hole. Plus it strengthens the flange
during the need for going in and out for fitting.
Attached Image

While I'm doing that Jack is creating some patterns for the hard sections that got tore up
during removal.

I forgot to post the continuation of the flange repairs to the front bulk head.
Numerous sections have to be removed and replaced.

Decided to repair and install the chassis ties to get a better test fit of the bulk head. They would need to go in first anyway. But they too were pretty tore up so I'd been holding off.
More of the same on the flange repairs. Some hole filling, some cut out and replacement.
But we got it tuned up and she got a nice coat of cold galvanizing on the inside.
Attached Image

Here's where she goes.
Attached Image

Test fitted and ready for screws.
Attached Image

About 1/2 way welded in. Short day, heading out for dinner with the wife.
Plus an oil change on the daughters car first thing this am.

I know Taylor appreciates it. This is much deeper than we 1st thought when we got into this. The idea was Taylor wanted to get some hands on in the metal department. He got a whole lot more than he bargained for.

Hoping this winter we can get this to paint, but still a ways to go.

Let Taylor drive my 72 when we went to lunch, I know he misses it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Amazing work Cary! I’m quite sure Taylor will respect and care for that car far longer than if it were just bought in good condition. Plus gold metal memories of the intire project.
