Worked on the floor today. In order to weld the new floor piece down with out burning thru I had to do tacks first. I would do a tack leave a gap and do another etc... for awhile. After you have the first set of tacks done it should be cool enough to do tacks in between the ones you just did. Once you finish up the second set you can now weld the new piece in place by starting on it and traveling to the tack.
Here it is welded in place. It is a slow and steady process to do.
After I ground down the welds I laid seam sealer over the welds. Also I used a long drill bit from underneath to mark will the bolt hole is so that I could use a hole saw on the top side.
Primer
Paint
Undercoating
Started tacking some sheet metal around the cage to prevent stones from hitting the fuel cell. The sheets will not be welded completely up because if a leak or something happens I want it to be able to escape.
Had 2 braided (with plastic coating) brake lines made up to replace the two rusted ones that ran from the front to the back. I will be running them thru the inside of the car so the weather wont affect them.
