Very nice! I'll be doing that on mine as soon as I find a firewall to use. Where did you get the butt weld clamps?

Thanks! I got them from princess auto. I'm not sure if you got any princess autos in the US but you can order them from there website. They are a must for butt welding sheet metal.

Nice looking work Randy, nice to see your back posting up some of your work, lots of members are learning plenty watching your project.

Thanks Dan! It's slowly coming together. How's your car coming along? I don't see a thread yet!

The drivers side upper control arm fought me to the end.. I tried heat, air hammer and a big f@*kin hammer and the bolts wouldn't budge at all. I also went thru three good sawzall blades trying to cut thru the bolt and I barely made a mark, so I used my 5" cutoff wheel on my electric grinder and cut the bolts off where I could reach them, then I had to destroy the upper control arm mounts to make room for it to slide thru.



Now I can press the bushings out, unscrew the ball joints and paint the control arms. I will be ordering the complete PST rubber front end kit in the next few weeks.


I also finished the splash shields. They had some damage on them.. Looks like the car fell off the jack stands at one time, but I got them pretty straight and sandblasted them and then gave them a coat of cold galvenizing paint. It works pretty good and you can buff it to a slight gloss.
