You're a hell of a better welder than me. The welds look strong and look good. Nothing more needed.Thanks man, appreciate it from you OCD guys.
I can tell you based on Drag Week , the engine diapers suck. Getting them to stay on is a challenge and chronic messing with. I’m planning to put on a bolt on, home grown pan made from aluminum. I found an SFI transmission cover.
Everyone tells me locally I don’t need a flexplate shield as it will be a ‘they’ll let you go’ deal. But......I’d like to do all necessary to keep my toes and feet fully functional.
Getting pretty close to done with the cage install.
Opened up the trunk floor. Just about a sin for a car with such clean floors.
Tested out the new China plasma cutter and burnt some 4" discs to fit in the top of the spring pockets.
Man, plasma cutter makes quick work of this kind of metal work. For running on 110v, and at 18amps it works mint. Highly recommend looking into a China machine for hobbie stuff.
Burnt the rigs in with some not to shabby looking welds with the mig. Almost Instagram worthy.
Down bars and mount fish plates are fully fit and ready to tack together to weld out. I am super happy for this moment. I need to get the door bars bent, as well as the dash bar bent to fit to finish the cage but this is the last piece I will need to lift the body to weld in. Hopefully have the cage painted and the body bolted back to the frame soon.

I agree. China sucks, its pretty much disposable. I will be back into a real plasma eventually. I'm fond of Miller myself.
I'll speak for him since his cell reception sucks. Duke is still down south (think cigars), and won't be back in Canuckistan for a couple months.
I know the feeling of not enough updates , at least he has a good excuse (
)I think he's going to be hard pressed to keep up once he's back
Ha, I have the stage 3 summit cart ready for dispatch as soon as I get my ticket back to the world and 2 solid weeks of uninterrupted quarantine to get caught up. My local track has first test and tune end of May and I need to make it to that.
