Had a few days off & a few rain days off. Got some get ready for snow stuff at home done, as well as some work on the car.
Drivers side .125" plate is in. Still have to weld in the 6" x 2" plate on the rocker.
Although NHRA only requires a 6" x 6" plate for the cage, I wanted it to extend beyond that to replace the seam with rust & because I'm going to build torque boxes. Just because
It is also welded to the OEM frame rails.
I have a small patch to do at the top left of this plate. Will be done with thinner metal.
Also worked on the right side. Got the .125 plate in. Also three thinner metal sections to replace rusted areas. Some "gob" welds below the 3.5" 4" plate is to weld up a few small rust through spots.
Still have to weld in the 6" x 2" rocker plate.
All will be welded from under the car as well......when it goes on the rotisserie. Not sure when now......decid
ed to do a lot more work / repairs than originally planned
Again, the primer is only to help prevent rust from starting till it goes for the full blasting.
