T56 Magnum Conversion
72bluNblu: Sorry the wrist is still bothering you. Hope your surgery goes well and that you have a speedy recovery.
Today, I was able to burn in the crossmember, and started working on the floorpan. The Hurst patch is actually going to be quite a big help, and I did get my driver's side patch to patch the gaping hole on the driver's side at about 6 PM. I got to the point in which I can prep the edge and weld the driver's side patch.
I decided to cut the hurst patch just behind the crossmember since I think there will be a big deviation in shape that I wouldn't be able to make the transition directly. I'll also be able to weld the front piece to the crossmember so it will be stiff ahead of time and then be able to form it well.
This bolt is going to be a pain in the butt. You can see I had to cut up the edge and bend it up. The patch will land above the bends too.
Have to weld back down the floor that had to be peeled back. The floor on the passenger side looks a lot worse than it is.
