Got one side roughed in tonight. I decided to cut all the holes out and just use plate to fill in the sides. Should look cleaner when it's done that way.
Laid out more precise cut lines.
Cut out.
Welded back in place. I need to get some plate steel to fill in the hole.
I mentioned earlier that I was doing some wheel and suspension changes on the VW. Just got the thin porta-walls in today. I built the front wheels using 15x5.5 Porsche 911/912 steel rims, and welded in the VW centers. The rears will be 7" made by welding 3" bands into the original 4" wheels. Gotta get adjustable rear spring plates to lower it a little more, pick out tires, and paint the rear wheels. Need a mild rear sway bar too. If I can get it all done in time I want to take it to Goodguys Charlotte and try out the autocross track.
