I got these spot weld cups for the tig to create that "factory" look they actually work pretty darn good. I will still stitch weld all the overlapped panels with the tig though just to be safe.

Mr. Diehl, I also commend you for the thoroughness and intensity you have extended to this project. I have contemplated in the past the concept of "building" a car from sheet metal, especially since Dynacorn has such an inventory of reproduction panels, and you are approaching that level. Excellent documentation and a very educational platform for many of the questions people can have for building a Stock eliminator car.

Agree with Dwight 110%.

Super nice build and I can only wish I had your skills at fab and welding knowledge. Good Luck and hope to see it up and running soon.

Thanks guys.....developing a new set of heads, putting together a brand new engine (with parts you can't buy) and building the car from the ground up all at the same time is a challenge no doubt.

Torque box reconstruction

The next series of photos will be of interest to some and not so much to others. This part of the project has been on the sidelines for awhile while I pondered the thought of eliminating the torque boxes alltogether, as bar 6A and 6B of the 25.5C floor would take its place and bars 2A would intersect the front factory frame rails.

But......since this is a "stock" eliminator project I came to the conclusion that

1) it would create to much controversy as not "stock" (even though I have approval in writing) and
2) I just was not satisfied with all the front end sheetmetal and the engine "hanging" from just the firewall becuase I have no motor plate or mid plate to work with

Previous owner must have thought this was a 4x4 because the damage to the undercarrige was substantial...previous photos show I have a new engine crossmember and strut rod crossmember also.

Now I have to do the drivers side and then get it on the jig to put it all together.

you can see how the 25.5C "frame" will tie it all together
