How about 68 and later bug front hood receiver mounted from behind on apron , So its kinda flush? Would have to make sure plunger part of latch swings into at a 90 degree angle from pivot of hinge. Or go to your local  wreaking yard and walk around till you find something cool ? Smaller the better to hide .

Kinda stoked, Been trying to get around to doing this for a year or so. Made a halo type deal for my spot welder. This is a 220 water cooled and heavy enough to do 16 guage. So doing floor pan halves should be no problem! Fun part of restoreing ole cars is trying to make them look like they where done like the factory would have done them! Anyway this deal will let me hang it and turn it, Its VERY heavy !! And can be lifted up and down with a air power'd chain pull.

Thanks Danny

It'll be a winter time project this coming year. I know there are patch panels available, but they seem to be pretty thin.
I'll check back periodically with you.

Danny I know this sounds goofy, but have you ever thought of doing some kind of seminars? Not giving all your secrets away, but just going over some of the baiscs that most of us don't know the first thing about? Like, even rattle-canning, 9 times out of ten, my jobs come out pretty scary. The headliner install, Welding 101.... etc. A natural like you could help a lot of clutzes like me get better.
Do you know Ray Schubert? The two of you guys together, could rule the world.

Enjoyed this thread, thanks for sharing

Hi Jim, Funny you brought the seminar deal up, Been try'n to set a date, been wanting to do a two day deal on Bodywork basics,welding,metalfinishing. Got a few guys that want to come,But waiting for the weather to get better !! Been real cold winter!!. Try'd to get a hold of Ray, Back when you gave me his number. Called and left a few messages, Never heard back from him. Seen a lot of stuff he has done with the vintage speed stuff and its very cool.
