worked on the car for the first time since my last update today. got the rear floor metal work done for the over axle exhaust. and also fixed a stripped out body mount nut. i'm not sure how much lead they used in these aftermarket floor pan nuts but 20ft. lbs is all it took to pull all the threads out.

then i got the exhaust notches cut out

i bent the notch covers out of 16g since thats what i have laying aournd.

then they were welded and smoothed.

over all i'm happy with them. its still going to be a pain running 3" exhaust because of the fuel cell but i'll cross that bridge later.

i also got a new smaller MOMO steering wheel and put it on to check fit. the adapter doesn't fit very well so i'll have to turn it doen in the leathe.

got the driver and passenger inner quarter repaired over the last few days. haven't had much time to work on it this week but still feel pretty good about what i got done.

passenger side cancer and someones attempt to fix it.

new panel in place ready to weld.

welded in

finished

really old picture of the drivers side but you can see there wasn't much left.

driver side mocked up

ground and sanded

and thats all for the rust in the back of the car. the only thing thats left on the rust repair dept. is lower windshied.
