Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

Today was slice and dice time. After laying out the cut lines, I made the two vertical cuts on each side as well as a short horizontal cut at the top. Turns out the horizontal cuts were not really needed. I was able to move the firewall pinchweld edges into position with just a few light taps from a rubber mallet. At this point, I could tell the area around the curve of the tunnel would need some serious hammer and dolly work to get it to fit the floor. I started by flattening the pinchweld lip and then folding it back opposite how it was originally formed. I then laid down some tape on the roughed in edge as a guide for the final lip.
