Well week one is behind us....as I've said before, I like to start a project by taking the car apart 100%...no screw/nut/bolt goes unturned...

This car is pretty solid, I think next week I'm going to try my hand at welding...I've watched enough "Bad Chad Customs" now to know how to weld  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Looking forward to seeing your progress Alan.    :twothumbsup: So what are you going to be welding on the car or were you just kidding. :huh:   I keep thinking I need to learn, but have pulled the trigger yet.

I was going to weld up all the holes in the firewall...I used to do a lot of welding years ago, but it became much easier to just give the work to my metal guy Keith Sim....in this case, he's already agreed to fix my phuckups  :rofl:

I wish I was building my car at the same pace as you are doing this one.  I'll try and follow your steps as you go.  Just at a mic slower pace! What timeframe do you think you will have it back to your customer?

Are you welding up all the AC holes? Is he going with aftermarket AC or none? Looks pretty solid

Success !!!!  :banana:
I welded up over 60 holes in the firewall and inner aprons. :bricks: Now after the car goes for media blasting, with a bit of body work the firewall look nice a clean...mind you, I still need to drill holes for all the new parts going on, like AC, hydraulic clutch, 392 wiring, etc...but hey...gotta start somewhere :D

Nice. A Pro Touring build! I thought you only did original.
Following for sure.
60 holes in 3 days? Damn, you are fast!

Swamp Donkey

Guess I will be doing the same.  Please slow down a bit on this build.  I can't keep up.

I guess your'e using a MAG, get a TIG, very little grinding, and softer welds.
