Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Got the Passenger side done except for the wheel tub, need the proper size tires for those.



Got all the rust in the cab/firewall corner replaced



Before





After





Next I drilled a bunch of spot weld holes in the upper floor piece and got to welding the floor and kick panel in.









Finished cutting out and replacing the rust in the floor edge under the seat mount









then started to fab a new "rocker" panel















That concludes the passenger side for now, on to the driver side on friday.



Happy thanksgiving to everyone!!

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Well yesterday I started making the new floor on the drivers side and got it finished today, except for the rust in the corner like on the other side. Next up will be the transmission hump. Need to get some sheet metal this week so i can start on it.



Heres the pictures, I wont bore you guys with during constuction pictures( mostly cus i didnt take any). Just flip the patterns and trace then cross your fingers that it looks the same...

Looks good. Like how subtle the hump looks on the floor. Nice work.

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

I got the transmission hump finished today. Yesterday I cut the floor out under the seat area to give the transmission room if i ever need to remove it. Just need to drill the holes for the bolts and install the threaded clips.





heres the pictures



Floor clearanced







Trans hump done







And in place

Thanks, after cutting it out I started with the english wheel to get the curve, next I bent the flange, and put the bead rolls in the larger section, next i cut the upper section and bent it tell it match up, flanged it and rolled it. from the back of the shifter hole all the way around the flage i had to cut out and tapper down to get it to work, which required adding two triangle peices. sound sort of easy but took about 8-10hrs just in the hump.
