I welded up the a section on the rear of each of the sub-frame connectors. I'd saved the final weld until I had the floorpan installed and could jack up the car a little. Once they were done, I seam sealed over the welds and up the sides of the floorboard along the rocker panels.
I had very good penetration on all my welds. A few of the welds for the seat risers and toe boards caused divits on the underside of the car. I grinded those off and then put a little primer over the bare metal spots.
I cleaned up the passenger side torque box I added to the car. I then painted the area where I made the toe board repair which is visible from the driver wheel area. I then covered the repaired area and the torque box with some Duplicolor TRK250 bed liner. Its the same stuff I used on the outer fender aprons a few years back and its still in excellent condition.
I cleaned up the welds on the front frame rails, transmission support, and transmission tunnel. Once I had those smothed out, I coated them with primer as well.
I've not seam sealed the frame rails, transmission crossmember, or transmission tunnel. I'll be unable to work on the car tomorrow but might be able to find time to do these on Sunday.
The day was somewhat productive. It was not as gratifying as welding in the floor. There is just something to be said for finishing an entire part of project. Today was more about wrapping up some lose ends and getting ready to paint the underside of the car.
