I like it, I would just counter bore two holes and just use machine screws to bolt it to you base.

Followed your advice, I spotfaced the holes with a leftover milling bit, dished it with a large bit and then the hole for the screw shank. I am going to try to find some nuts that are mild steel instead of stainless so I can weld it to the back. Once the pedal is in place i wont be able to get back there again.

I also decided on going with my original oil line cover, it looks like hell because I am trying to fix up some of the screw ups.

Did some more work on the dead pedal. Added more to the attachment flange, drilled and belled a big huge hole in the side and filled in the top with some sheet metal.

Bottom open I hope? That would be my suggestion just to keep it from trapping crap in cavity via the hole.

I do like it, just odd enough to make me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Rebuilt the front of the passenger torque box, it was rotted through both layers of metal. I was able to save the outer flanged piece, that was the only part not rusted.

Time to revisit one of the first repairs I did. I have been hiding this ugly from all of you for a while - but here it is.

Well, when I put the trunk floor In I had to pull in the back panel in a good 3/4 of an inch along the center. While this will be covered by the bumper, I need to try and fix it a little better. I think I need to cut a slit in the back of the trunk floor and get the back panel flat again then stitch in metal along the cut.

I had to patch the back panel too as it was pitted through in a couple of spots. A long long time ago the rear panel and the passenger quarter were replaced with factory parts I think (red oxide primer on the backs on them). The panel has some crinkles in it too, time to remove some paint and figure out what's what.

I have a couple of those spots hiding behind my rotisserie mounts too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Paint removed. Found some more rust and the backing plate didn't have any primer on it. I am thinking that the whole panel needs to come out. Something is not right with the inward bow where the trunk floor meets the back panel.

Plus I am not sure how to get to the drivers side damage and fix.

I could only get so far with straightening this side panel. not much access for a dolly. I cheated and used a torch to heat it up before I could beat it sorta back into shape. There was a few spots of braze and sure enough it was for some holes. This corner piece is shot.

So after all that, I cut out the corner and will have to make a replacement piece. It will be a challenge because of the curve.

That is one tough spot to fab a part for. I always have considered just buying the entire back piece from restoration design for my car.. Though mine worked our pretty nicely..

Couple of pinholes and I have to trim the side to fit, other than that I am VERY happy how this turned out.
