What a long strange trip this has been....as I mentioned earlier I did not like the fitup between the firewall and offshore front end sheetmetal. also, I could not blast the inside of the door pillars, and the torque boxes that the frame/cage attached too showed to much "rot" in them so........new firewall, cowl/kick panels, inner rocker panels and new torque boxes fabbed up. (the inner rocker is now .100 thick as opposed to the factory .040, and the firewall is really a bargain as it has the upper torque box/plate already attached)

By the time I repaired the damage to the bottom of the original firewall, filled all the holes, got the other parts to fit...I was hours and dollars ahead with the new piece

I got these spot weld cups for the tig to create that "factory" look they actually work pretty darn good. I will still stitch weld all the overlapped panels with the tig though just to be safe.

Mr. Diehl, I also commend you for the thoroughness and intensity you have extended to this project. I have contemplated in the past the concept of "building" a car from sheet metal, especially since Dynacorn has such an inventory of reproduction panels, and you are approaching that level. Excellent documentation and a very educational platform for many of the questions people can have for building a Stock eliminator car.

Agree with Dwight 110%.

Super nice build and I can only wish I had your skills at fab and welding knowledge. Good Luck and hope to see it up and running soon.
