I've been procrastinating welding in the driver side torque box for about two months. Today, I decided I wanted to get the job done today.
I started at about 9 o'clock by working on fitting the reproduction panel to my car. It fit fairly well but the area under the steering colum was designed differently. The contours were off so I had to spend a little time shaping the reproducton part to fit the design of the firewall.
There was a little other work needed but nothing incredible. I think it is just a given that a reproduction part just gets you close. To make it actually fit, you are going to need to do some work. Especially when it is just a portion of an original panel like a toe board.
I did test fit the floorboard in today before starting on the toe board and it gave me the motivation to work until about 5 o'clock this afternoon. I'm not the best at welding but I just keep getting better. Unfortunately, I require a large amount of grinding time. Regardless, I installed the toe board and just have to do some finish work on it tomorrow.
I'll put some pictures of the toe board up tomorrow.
