I never even thought to drill holes in there!  Thank you!!

With a fair bit of hammering and a makeshift buck that I made from some 2x4s I managed to recreate the little bump out that the fuel feed line enters the engine bay through. 
 

 

I finished the heater box opening and completed some other patches on the firewall.

 

 

 

Next time I work on it I should be attaching the raintray and starting to level the car in preparation for the new left side frame rail.

Made it faster by applying a sticker

Early morning mountain drive. Lots of fog and lots of fun! Slippery road though...

I'm kinda interested in the reinforcing panel on the touring behind the rear door card wonder how much stiffing it adds to the car.

Making lemonade out of lemons. Butchered interior doors got por-15 treatment, full scrub and relube of latch mechanisms, now sound deadening is going on in preperation for new door cards, probably with old vinyl.

 

I'm tempted to go all out with new two tone vinyl front and back and real trim but I have other projects needing cash...

 

No lipstick for this pig.

If I’m going to breakdown, it might as well be in front of this stylish cafe.

Just get some vinyl dye (spray paint stuff) and 2 tone them yourself.  It works really good; I changed mine from tan to black and you can't tell.

I went on a 2 1/2 hour blast to the mountains and back. I wanted to do the full loop. Commitments meant I couldn't do so but I still had a blast. I only stopped once and took this pic.

Today,  i worked on improving my socket & ball removal/disconnecting technique.  You see, its raining in California. Or at least in southern Cal. Its rained.  I’m not sure what this arm is called (other then an ARM).  I removed the ball from socket by drilling out the three rivets with a 1/4 drill first to establish a small tunnel thru the rivet so I can then use an 11/64 final drill bit.  I say final because when you center the 11/64 bit to the 1/4 hole,  you can move the drill & bit in a circular motion and the bit will cut a radius opening and after a few sec.’s  the rivet will disconnect itself from the spot it’s riveted to. Then you take a punch and punch the neck of the rivet out....just pops out.  Vaula!  I decided to save these arms because their Expensive as hell.  I think its called a trailing arm.  Not sure really but I do know one thing .... I KICKED ITS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On a side not:  I cleared the electrical on the Build.  I located as many ground connections and  re-wired the coil (looks much neater) added a 4gauge cable from the battery directly to the starter +terminal.  Then, while the coil was dissconnected I turned the engine over to possibly prime out the oil form the oil pan.  Next!  I’ll be strategically placing my Quick-Jack to lift the car about 22in.’s off the deck.  That’ll be an awesome moment because it’ll mark the beginning of Mai’s build.  WoooHooooo!

 

You can follow this build from the BLOGS sect. And locate TocaChakra’s Build ( which beyond the Pecs an Triceps) is going to be immaculately BUILT!!!!!
