The hard part was grinding down the plug welds in the channel in the engine shelf.
 Finished putting all the parts back on. I reused the inner layer of the inner long and the inner firewall from my car. I used the outer layer of the inner long and the triangle from Jonesy's silver car. I used a new piece from George at AA for the outer firewall. Next up is an Engman kit. Dave Attached image(s)

QUOTE Mark the reason I use that backing is it makes butt welds much easier and stronger I hope. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yup, I like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) I'll be recommending it for beginners in the future and referencing this thread. |

lookin' good dave. you going to bomb the engine bay when the welding is done? canyon rd auto body supply is a good biz for the L96 loaded in cans. if you should want to go with them let me know. order, prepay, and i'll pick it up for you. they usually have a one day turn around. skip that a.b.s store on center street. pick up some Oil Eater @ costco when you start the prep.

I started on the Engman kit from Mark. I used all sorts of pieces of wood to apply force so the kit would be in tight fit with car.
 More  I even ran them as stringers across the car.  Note how hard I had to work to get the door openning widened. All of that effort gained me 1/8 of an inch at the Targa bar. I suspect that long was bent. It gives me a real appreciation of how much resistance to deformation there is in a rectangle. Dave |
