I started out finish welding last weeks work slowly working from side to side and letting it all cool before doing any more.It was all going well, and I cut the edges of the old pedal hole so that I could bring it intol line with the new panel I’d made. After a few tacks, I bent the floor back in to meet the new edge and sliced up the edge into pieces to tack it at the right angle. With the cab loose, I couldn’t get enough pressure to get the floor back straight at the floor and firewall joint but its pretty much straight on the pedal cover. Just before I did the last inch of seam weld, I ran out of gas. With my welding done for the day I ground down the welds before getting the orbital sander to start getting it all nice and smooth, The sander showed up the high and low spots so I dollied it back into shape as best I could and carried on.

Hard to see in the pic but I’m pretty happy with how it’s come out. I cut out the battered piece the other side of the rib, and cut a new panel out of the old hood. It’s clamped in ready for when I get some more gas. I wanted to see where my ebay purchased pedal bracket would end up sitting, so after a bit of measuring I trimmed it to fit around the Camaro chassis leg and put it inb position. I’m a bit worried about getting the exhaust through right next to the brake master. Will have to get the proper trans in place and see how much space I really have. I’ll probably chop in a piece of thick wall tube to give the exhaust space to pass by. Will have a think about that for a while.
