I feel your pain working around the bars. I think you will find the cleaner the metal is the better it will weld, no scale, paint, or corrosion. If multiple passes of weld are needed removing the glass like deposits on the previous weld is must to avoid inclusions in the weld. Good luck

Very nice detail. Will be watching for your progress.

We were able to finish up the passenger side tin work today. We made cardboard templates that will make the drivers side go much quicker and smoother.

Looks real nice. Weld a brace from the trunk lid hinge to the wheel well to support the hinge.

Hey mike!! So we had to trim the trunk hinge to get the tub in but we made the radius to fit the tub radius near perfectly . So I actually welded the hinge to the tub. It’s pretty solid, but I may take that advice and add a small brace. Any other advice , please don’t hesitate .

Looking good. Can't wait to see it at the track.

What engine combo are looking at?
