Well Kim and Jim, you're right about it, it aint so bad.
I welded all the unneccesary holes the PO had made, welded some in the firewall too that I think I don't need.
After that, I cleaned the passenger side Lower hinge and cowl to see how bad it really is.
The main rot is at the inside floor and lower hinge pocket.
The outside of the lower cowl is pretty good.
I took off that good part to make room for the repair of the floor and hinge pocket, the inside of the cowl isn't so bad either
I think I make my own parts to get this repaired.
I've seen some of you have done it, so I should get it done also
But to make sheetmetal parts you must have the tools. I don't have all of them...
Well then, I try to make a metal brake:
Difficult to see, but this is real steel, 3 feet long, 5 mm thick angled steel, 10 mm thick strip steel. I hope it bends 14 gauge steel plate at 3 feet length.
If it does this, I'm going to make my own rollpan also
Yeah, I know, I've plenty of plans....
Only thing needed now is some hinges and we can try the new tool
I'll keep you updated on this one!
Last week I made a bending tool for brake lines, that works great!!
Set up for 3/16" and 1/4" lines.
