Thanks kenny.
I've got 6 lifting points in my shop. Biggest drawback is the truss height. 8' to the bottom of the trusses. I over came some of that by building a Gantry lift that fits in between the trusses. The cross piece for that is at 10'. I had to pull the SBC in my wife's old boat and had to get the pan up above 7 feet to clear the boat deck so I pulled it up to the truss bottoms and then turned the engine sideways and lifted it up the rest of the way between the trusses.

It would have been done by now. OI.
More stuff off the list today.
Cut out the spare tire well.
Went after the DS lower cowl area.
I wanted this to wrap under so I can box it in for strength. I used the OLD repro rocker skins that were put on the car before I bought it.
Beat, but still good steel. Just needed some trimming.
Tomorrow I will put in the piece where my ground is clamped to. It will connect to the new piece as well as the new inner rocker skin.
I will also connect and reinforce the firewall foot mount from the back side.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping in...

Thanks ZZ. Not pretty but it doesn’t have to be in this case.
Good and strong though.

Tied this all up this morning.
Based on what's left of the other side this is sort of....kind of ....what it maybe should look like.
Keep on keeping on.......

Doesn’t really matter what it looks like since it will be hid, just has to work!
I think it will do the job just fine Torchie.

Thanks Bama.
What you said has pretty much been my mantra on the underside of this car.
Got to keep moving forward.
