Well its been a while since I posted . I thought Id be done with the most of my sheet metal by now . I took a little break from the car , Got caught up on the house chores , took care of my other vehicles needs, and thought Id get back on the GT . Then the flu hit me, then when I was over that,I was lifting up one of my antique console radios and twisted wrong while lifting,,, ouch. So Im on the mend and just starting to work on the car again.I made my radiator tray today and that was about all my back could handle.
Since I last posted I made the radiator side panels (I call them sail panels). I cut new ones from sheet and they extend all the way up the upper front tubes instead of stoping 2/3 the way up. Also I have finished locating,drilling , and countersinking my seat hold downs.I am using flush fasteners coming up from underneath.
So I guess I can finish the side tunnel next to the drivers seat and locate my pedals and go from there .Oh I almost forgot,,, the sheetmetal that sticks out on the aft edge of the front wheel wells I am covering with that foam slotted pipe insulation covering. After ripping my legs open numerous times because its hard to see when your walking around the car I dug some of this spare stuff out of my attic. Havnt hurt myself since /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif and dont crash into it either . Highly recommended .Regards Dan
