Getting real close now. My supplier brought some more 18 guage today, so I was able to make the passenger side piece.
"Close enough for the chicks I go with"
All welded in.
On a side note:
Since there are no gaps involved, I'm welding it in as I go, basically just to make the clamping easier. I don't want a bunch of screw holes to weld up. If this were say, a rear body panel, where the quarter to decklid gap was a concern, I would clamp it all up and then weld.
Aside from the top cover around the shifters, I think 3 more pieces will do the trick. After i get the one on the upper part of the tunnel made, and the floor piece that attaches to the firewall made, I'm going to take a break on the welding and grinding and prep the outside of the firewall for paint. Which reminds me AGAIN, I need to make the little shelf that the right apron attaches to on the outside of the firewall. But after I get it painted, I can hang all the wiring back up, find the routing of it, and start wrapping it back up. That and hang the front clip back on it, (which obviously needs to be done before the wiring) so I can hang the P/S cooler, and run the winch cables back through.
So what's left:
-Sheetmetal work (Bracket dude, bracket)
-Prime, seamseal, and paint
-Hang front clip
-Mount P/S cooler
-Rewire winch
-Gas pedal
-air cleaner
-rewrap and install wiring harness
-rewire ignition
-Buy fuel pump and wire it
-wire in tach
-wire in headlights and taillights
-run a return line to the fuel cell
-reinstall seats
-shifter boots
-bleed brakes and clutch
-Wheel the piss out of it.
