bent some 1/8" plate to match the rockers and tig welded a locking nut to the back side for my harness mount.

fitted in place

driver and passenger side welded in place

also started the sub belt mount.

also got the console mounted the other day with some of the mounts from the '01 camaro

got the nuts i needed to finish the harness mounts today. got them tigged onto the mount plate

then got it test fitted to make sure it was bent tight to the floor.

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.

then got the new patch welded and smoothed.

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.

hole cut for the patch plate.

weld, cool, weld, cool, repeat

grind to finish and done.

then measured for the relocated backing plate and got it ready to weld in.

weld the four plug welds, grind, hit it with some 180 and done.

then i welded in the sub belt plate.

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.

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

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

and TIG welded it all together

then traced a cut line and cut it out

test fit to trace a cut line for the correct height

welded and smoothed

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.

then tacked them into place after some primer/sealer

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