BUILD THREAD Midlife Crisis Monte Carlo Build
- Thread starter tokarz1
- Start date
So many things to update but I will start here. I really want to get the body back on the chassis, so I need to get the floors finished. Looking around for floor pans I decided to go with the Sherman full length passenger and driver side pans.
After I braced the body, I started the spot weld drilling fun.
I knew the body bushing nut and cage that is tack welded to the front torque box under the floor was bad as it broke while removing the body. Making a new one from 16-gauge steel was not too bad.

Getting the driver side fitted was not too bad even with my OCD.
Once I knew the areas on the rocker panel and support to punch out for me to spot weld I used some weld through primer.
It is now held in by a few sheet metal screws and butt weld clamps for me to get it welded in which will hopefully be done by the weekend.

Now would be the perfect time to add a dead pedal or mounts to bolt in dead pedal.
