I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t worried about rebuilding the floor pans and frame rails. But one of my biggest concerns was the battery tray area. Especially after it became this massive hole that contained several bends and complex curves that needed to be recreated.
But I approached it like the rest of the car, with ignorance and hope and began to chip away at it one bend at a time.
And for me, it helps if I write notes and draw little illustrations on the piece I’m making along with where to cut and bend. I’m a visual person and it seems to make the whole process go more smoothly.
Once I had the rough shape made, I welded it in place, then began to fill the smaller holes until it was a solid again.
Aside from it being obvious that I need to really work on my welding, I feel like it’s acceptable.
