This weekend, I made the final modifications to the panel that will sit behind the passenger door and tacked the outer skin together.
But first, I cut out and repaired the floor lip behind/under the back seat and welded the bottom of the lower corner so I wouldn't fill the heater channel with water.






I removed most of the paint from the outer skin, applied primer on the inside, and carefully started welding it in place with the TIG.






So far, it looks good. It doesn't seem to have warped. Now it's time to continue with the inner fender before fully welding the outer skin.
The inner fender, however, requires quite a bit of work... First up was this weird little pressing.




Since the panel is designed for newer cars with a Z-bar, I have to close up the opening to make it more like the original. This was patched up, and the panel was trimmed to fit the existing inner fender.








However, I wasn't happy with the sharp rear corner of the opening at the shock mount, so I rounded it off a bit.



Then I realized that the bottom line of the bottom of the body didn't line up at all, so I redid the entire rear half and also part of the opening near the shock mount.



Now it's welded and ground down. This piece took way too long!




The next step will be the reinforcement piece that goes on top of the inner fender. and the mount for to the shock tower.

I can't help but to be amazed.  Shocked I really like the level off your work. I don't even know how to start and you show pictures and details.

Thank you! I start by looking at the replacement panel, and figure out where I want to make the transition between old and new metal on the car. Usually a balance of how difficult it is to do and quality of the end result.

Otherwise you can just throw the angle grinder at the car and figure it out from the empty space it gives you  Grin

2 races planned.
VARA Big Willow in March.
https://www.vararacing.com/events
SVRA Laguna Seca in May.
https://svra.com/news/svra-announces-2025-schedule/

The 10 is at Bryans racing enterprises getting some attention.
https://www.bryansracing.com/engines
So new Brodix Heads flow well and were tuned on the Westec dyno.
On the dyno Carb actually was a Holley 750cfm.
Found a cracked ignition pick up magnet in the distributor.
Timing was jumping from 24 to 44, difficult to diagnose when driving, would of just felt down on power on track.
Good torque for getting off corners.
Needed some clutch parts, small rock got jammed in it.
Ordered new slicks. Cool

I did! They did both the cutting and bending. The bends were within 1° tolerance. So I'm very satisfied, and will definitely send more stuff to be cut.
