I'M MOVING THIS THREAD OVER HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE SKIPPED THE INTRODUCTIONS

i saw your cage build and just wanna say your welding is 10 out of 10. i just started welding this year n hope to be as good as you this year.

I'M A WELDER/FITTER BY TRADE. ALLWAY REMEMBER THESE4 THINGS WHEN YOUR ABOUT TO WELD. (HEAT, HIGHT , ANGLE AND SPEED).

thanks i will keep that in mind. but i wish i had some1 to show me.

AFTER TAKING OFF THE FENDERS THE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST SO TO PUT SOME STRENGTH INTO THE FRONT I TOOK 1/8" PLATE IN SMALL SECTIONS AND STICHED IT TO THE BODY. I DID THIS ON BOTH SIDES. MY CRAPPY UN HEATED GARAGE AND CRAPPY CANADIAN CLIMATE MAKES ALOT OF MOISTURE. I HAD TO PRIMER EVERTHING QUICK BEFORE MORE RUST MOVED IN.

OLD MOTOR PICTS, JUST TO GET IT ON THE TRACK...

FILLING IN THE FRONT COWL. THERE WAS SOME RUSTY SECTIONS AFTER REMOVING THE WINDSHEILD SO I TOOK 16 GAGE SHEET, MADE A TEMPLATE AND PRESTO. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW AIR THATS UNDER THE HOOD EXIT RATHER THAN GETTING TRAPPED IN THE SPACE WERE WIPER ARM ASSEMBALY USED TO BE. THIS ALSO GAVE ME A MORE SOLID PLACE TO MOUNT THE WINDSHEILD. I COULD HAVE USED LEXAN ($240.00 FOR A 4x8x1/8 SHEET , BUT I GOT A NEW WINDSHEILD FOR $105.00.

REAR FIRE WALL

I FULLY BOXED THE REAR FRAME RAILS AND ADDED RUB RAILS, SHOWN WITH ARROWS IN PICTURE. THE CAR WAS GOING TO BE RED BUT LOOK HOW IT TURNED OUT.

r u leaving the floor open in the trunk? also did you get a chance to check out the phantom grip? project cars magazine used it on their wonder dog crx when it had the sohc still and wrote good stuff about it.
