Are those concave wheels? Who makes them? I thought you were going with ZR1 black wheels. I like the rendering wheels better :thumbsup:

That's insulting....... to her anyway.

They are ADV.1 wheels. Model is ADV5 Flowspec's. Waiting for them to come out with 19's and then I may pick them up. Was leaning towards the ZR1's until I came across these. Now I gotta have em.

Progress! In between preparing the nursery for our first baby and watching the Bruins there hasn't been much time for the Bird. But today I was able to put in a few hours and got the old inner cowl completely out and fitted the new one. I need to make a few adjustments but it is almost ready to weld!

Lots of plug welding and sanding later, the cowl is in and so is the DSE fill plate. Still some plug welds to do and some places to weld on the fill plate.

Question! Do I really need to tack every single spot, ors every half inch ok???

looks good:thumbsup:

I TIG welded the one I just did with Silicone Bronze rod -- it's low heat makes it ideal for NON structural --- but since you cut the old one out - you need to have some structure - I'd weld it solid - just watch your heat. You're going to have to bodywork that big flat area one way or the other if you want it to look good.

I went back to look after posting -- and I see that you're probably asking about the DSE panel -- again - I welded the one I just did solid as I stated above...

I thought maybe you were asking about the cowl to firewall....

Either way -- solid is good - probably overkill -- but I don't want to go back to fix a cracked paint job!! :unibrow:

Blue Bird :thumbsup:

Nice build!

Thanks for the input. I'm going to weld it up solid. A stitch in time saves nine, right?
