You are definitely taking the correct steps in making the DSE tubs fit perfect. I wanted to go the extra mile and do just what you are doing, but decided I just didn't want to put that much effort to get that 'perfect' fit in the wheel wells. I was being a bit lazy:rolleyes:

Jeremy .... thanks for talking to me Sat., never would have guessed you'd have an accent being from Mississippi :) , almost got the closeout ready for the mig gun.
Used Eastwood's Internal Frame Coating on the inside area and that seemed to cover all that got in it's way (omni directional nozzle) .... I did have to tape the brass nozzle to a coat hanger wire so I could aim it and keep it from being willy nilly on the tubing. Had a pix but ImageShack would not post it correctly.

Finished the outside corner, dress and install!

Almost pulled the gun last nite .... it was late and I was trying to hold this closeout on 3 axis and weld so I called it, I'll try again tonight.

HAHA! Yeah, I'm a born and bred southern boy:yes:

Glad to see the tubs haven't stalled you too much. Looks like you got a good handle on them now:gitrdun:

:thankyou: I'm all over them now .... did a little welding the other night and finished the driver's side shock closeout last night. Did not want to get back into that trunk more than I had to, and it was at least 95 in that dang garage.

Anyway... take a look, I should get to the frame close out this weekend, keep your fingers crossed we should get some cooler weather coming into our area. When it's 110 in the garage it's NO FUN :badidea:

:thankyou: If it's worth doing it's worth doing right!!!

Scott, met Mr. Miller @ GG Loveland. I went on the Friday and watched the autocross for most of the day. Talked with him some but he was keeping that 69 busy, nice frame design .... 315 in the front, nice!

Your are quite the fabricator .... you are doing it right!:cheers:

:thankyou: I hope others can learn from this thread .... the right way to do things (slowly), I know I learn from other threads also.

Your car is coming along quickly, nice!!!

Been in the garage welding and thinking if it wasn't for my OCD I might have this tub done done already .... anyway, take a look. Most of the welding is done on the drivers side, I was running outa gas and so was my mig tank, still have to make the floor match the tub at either ends ( make use of my stretcher/ shrinker) and weld those in.

Thanks for looking .....
