Got the drivers side front lower pillar patch in today. I removed the original steel as much as I could without getting into the caged hinge nuts. Unfortunately, this left some thinner steel and made burning holes kinda easy. On the surface with the hinge nuts, I did the first but joint. The rest of these welds have all been lap joints. Turned out pretty good, other than a little bit of burning from the aforementioned thin steel. I'm going to use the inner frame rust converter/sealer with the long hose and spray nozzle from Eastwood to seal the insides of both of the front pillars. Planning to go through one of hte inner hinge screw holes with the hose and just coat the insides of the pillars. Anybody else done this?

Also got the lower kick panel patched up on the drivers side. Forgot to take a pic of it before welding in the patch. Still got some more welding to do on this one.

Popped out my instrument cluster, too. It's the plain jane variety, and I'm planning to install some aftermarket oil pressure and water temperature gauges in it. Maybe voltmeter. Anybody measuring tranny temperature?
