I had to repair the box at the front of the long and then it was on with the outer long piece.

Lastly for added support (in case I blew a weld or two) I put on an RD long reinforcing overlay piece. It runs from just forward of the suspension console all the way to around the front of the box at the front of the long. Its also double thick at the jackpost. This brings me up to date with my restoration. I have to next paint the overlay piece and then its on to the left side long!

Nice work Peter!!!

How long has this project taken you so far?

I am working on a very similar resto to yours right now.

How much would you say the RA clamshell pieces weigh? I was thinking of using
them along with the inner long kit but I was starting to wonder if that was overkill in my case. I made some inner long repair pieces that wrap around the top of the long and the bottom because there is no floor in my car right now.

Good luck,

John

Thanks John. I saw your thread and will be following along. Nice work too! I've been working on the right side long for some time but only in earnest for the past few months. Trying to balance this with the rest of my life is tough so I don't get out to the garage as much as I'd like. I weighed the left side overlay and it weighs just under 7lbs.

7 pounds per clamshell seems very reasonable for making you car a lot stronger and stiffer. I may have to rethink doing them.

Finding time is always a challenge. I try to work one night after work and weld on at least one more patch or new part. I try to work one afternoon on the weekend.

I'm trying to work ahead and have then engine and other parts I need ready when I finally finish the body work and paint.

Peter,

It looks great! I am doing a similar repair right now, but you are just a bit farther along than I am.
