    I think it will end up being stronger to just do a patch and leave it as much of the existing metal as possible, The bend at the transition from the tunnel to the floor pan, adds a lot of strength and having as much metal as possible on both sides of that bend/ corner will help.

    Took the last week are so off from working on the Baur, been getting our other cars ready to drive… put the four half shafts ends back together yesterday…first one took over an hour to get all six ball bearings captured… the second and third ones no more than 5 to 10 minutes and number four was another 45 minutes… it’s right up there with the heater box as far as being a pain in the ass.

    Ok, that was an April fools joke… my car won’t be to that stage for a couple months. That Baur is a 74 just like mine painted in Verona red just like mine belongs to a fellow Robert Gutley in the Portland area introduced to me by Mike Pugh he is a few months ahead of me on his project. He was kind enough to send me those pictures, and I thought it would make a good joke. I’ve been making good progress on Friday My college-age helper was able to come help me reorganize the shop after sending the car off to the painter. We also dropped the seats off at the upholstery shop, having them done with the black and white pepita houndstooth. Today I replaced the rubber in front subframes/rear control arms and put second coat of paint on them… planning to start assembling on Wednesday. tomorrow I’m taking the aluminum engine parts to get dry ice cleaning….

    Well not sure what day it is, but received my Baur back from painting after three days and I started assembly yesterday….

    My son Ellis is remodeling his house, He needed room in his garage so he brought his car out and he is storing it at our house, so I decided to take it for a ride this morning…. I haven’t driven the car in about five or six years since I gave it to him. I forgot how well it drives.

    Tonight I drove the Baur into a European car meet at a local hamburger spot… great turn out we had at least six 2002s there.
