Wow, car looks like it is going to be great. I've been reading through your thread and have a dumb question. What does the bead rolling do for the sheetmetal?
I am not expert but it basically makes the sheetmetal a little stronger. Try this example take a sheet of paper and hold it by one end and try to make it lay straight, well the paper will fold right at the spot your holding it. Now fold the paper int half making a good crease in the paper. Now open it back up and try to hold it out again. More than likely it will stay straight.
It is basically like welding a piece of C-Channel to the back of the sheetmetal, it provides extra bracing and strenghth without adding wieght.
Now quit working on your tools and make some more progress on the car! Fab work like this is veeery inspirational for me.
Looks good.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but shouldn't you put the floor in before you weld in the seat risers?
Oh, and I would redo the tunnel from before the bead roller modifications. It may only be the floor pans but you are doing so much work to build the car, it will bother you to know that something is not perfect.
Very very nice, you put my work to shame... Have you thought more about where your going to run your exhaust?
I don't know about that but the seat pans are growing on me. I think I might keep them and box them in. I think with some skirts on the rocker I can run the exhaust past the outside of the pans and still keep it discrete. What do you think of the frame rail crossmember? I am not sure if it will need to be modified for the transmission or not but it is real stiff. I think I will do quite a bit of boxing to keep everything clean looking in the under carriage. Your work is looking great, I like the top to the seat pan riser.
