time to braze up the small holes


Sometimes the best fix for small, rust holes is brazing - in this case, small holes just need a patch because the underside gets bedliner and the top gets spray-on sound deadening

next up, more metal finishing


and repair of the rusted nuts

[SuperBuickGuy]

been kind of busy with other stuff.... but did get the floor welded in


Also got the turbo flanges....

Tomorrow is track day - so probably no update

Our helper stays in the house. He has an advanced case of carpet paws.

I hear that can lead to a terminal case of loaf pan.

they seem to be pretty good at holding the floor down.... and I don't see any elephants or tigers running around your shop - maybe you don't see them working?

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

OUCH!!!

I hate when that happens. I'm glad your helper is OK. My helpers are generally not not very helpful

[SuperBuickGuy]

back to work


then this happened

*ducks!!!*
in looking around, I realized I needed to remove these

because it was full of sand and debris....


thankfully, my helper wasn't hurt


I really need to find another wagon or quarter.... I can fix it, but I think I'll do some calling around tomorrow and see if I can find something

[SuperBuickGuy]

ugh, I don't like undercarriages
however, it needed a full wire-wheeling plus washing... so that's what it got....

I wish this was mine... it's pretty cool

spinny time

[silver_bullet]

I like the variety of projects!

[SuperBuickGuy]

I know, I know, I should go back to Corvette only content.... but alas, you need to suffer to really appreciate C3 content.
time to set the car in place

front brackets

assembled

in the back, I'll use the hinge mounts to hold it

welded

it even holds on the back

[SuperBuickGuy]

tonight was planning, mostly... I really don't want to work on this upside down

so I dug out my rotisserie and got to planning


then there was puppy play time.... Luigi's brother came for a fully puppy play date, complete with a full mudding...
That's Luigi, he's almost white when not covered in mud

but fun was had by all

[Monster]

This shot lets me see how cool this longroof is going to be.
