Here is the first of about four pieces that have to be made from scratch to repair the top on the longitudinal.

This single piece took four hours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Yes, but I'm going to honor your original labor estimate +metal + paint.

First time on the lift after installation of the new wheel house.

The door gap used to become ugly when this chassis was in the air.

No longer:

Nice work Joe you have incredible talent.

You make that look easy... having attempted something much less complicated I've learned IT'S NOT!

Test fitting the engine shelf.

Since the top of the long was hand made, this is taking some massaging to get it fit up.

Thanks Chris. You just have to really take your time to trim and fit the pieces.

I'll grind it tomorrow. I'm tired.


Only the battery tray and one bottom piece to go. I'm giving it to the painter in 24 hours.

My plan is to deliver it at the Cinco de Mayo party.

Don't forget to take off the stupid -4 mount on the suspension console.
Unless you are using it ?

They've been gone since I did the engine conversion.

That's how I initially found the weak metal in this area.
