Saturday I got to get more done on the car. It didn’t feel like much got done, but It was still progress and stuff that needed done.

Out back I got the tubs welded, ground, and metal finished so that took some time. After that was done I got the template done for the trunk floor done, but didn’t have a big enough piece of metal to get it done.

With the back at a stand still I moved to cutting out the firewall. After most of it was cut back I got the firewall starter piece lined up and made the first official firewall weld done. Since I need to know where to put the actual firewall I wend ahead put the engine in. Hopefully going to get the trunk floor done next Saturday.

It's great to see structure coming together on this car. That car-joining sheetmetal process is a mother, but it does provide a bit of perverse enjoyment in a puzzle-solving kind of way. I recall spending like four hours on a 4" x 5" inch chunk of sheet when I got near the end of my mess . . .

I found that using some tubes in the front and rear firewalls really helped to cheat the process along. The extra structure doesn't hurt, either. Keep up the good work!

Lots done Saturday. I have two small panels to build and then fitting the rear metal by the tail panel and all the rear tin work will be ready for some epoxy and then welding in.

I went with a bead layout that looked like stock first gen trunk pan after a lot of though and trying to figure out what designs I wanted to put in the metal. At the end though simple is best. I also made a support that goes on the bottom to add some strength to the metal. I also had to built end caps on the floor pan and cut the back parts of the tubs out so I can take the rear upper control arm bolt out. I think it finished off nicely. I'm undecided as to if I'm going to lizard skin everything then factory splatter paint it or just shoot it all with raptor liner and be done with it.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with the progress I've been able to get done. If I can keep it up then hopefully by the end of the year I'll be about done with all the metal work and can have a fully assembled car so I can start on some of the other small projects and get them done as well.
