then fully welded and spot welded in the center

then got the stock seat belt mounts moved back a few inches because of moving the seats back a few inches that way i had the correct belt angle.

then i cut out the hole and spot welds from the stock belt mount.

that concluded 90% of the driver side fab work. next on the list is floor mount pedals. should start on the passenger side tomorrow to get the same work done.

worked on the car for a few hours today to get the harness mounts finished up. here is where i started. i had a few people ask me about the in between start and finish pictures.

also went to jegs and picked up a few things for an upcoming project for the car. more to come on that when the rest of the parts get here.

Awesome,Really nice work.:thumbsup: Can't wait to see this one finished.

thanks! also i'm taking ideas from your sunoco camaro:thumbsup:

got some sheet metal and got to work. started with a battery box for the battery mount. levels the battery in the trunk instead of it sitting crooked.
laid out some measurements

then i cut on the lines and bent the sides up
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7502731_n.jpg

and TIG welded it all together

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3513065_n.jpg

then traced a cut line and cut it out
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1359041_n.jpg
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5176733_n.jpg

test fit to trace a cut line for the correct height
http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7985685_n.jpg

welded and smoothed
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4313054_n.jpg

then made up some fill panels since i removed my package tray. this was also my first attempt with a bead roller, came out pretty good for a newb.
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2892444_n.jpg

then tacked them into place after some primer/sealer
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2659018_n.jpg
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2464395_n.jpg

hopefully tomorrow i'll be able to get the fill panel done for the rear suspension and the trans tunnel mocked up.
