Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Now here are the AFTER photos. we used an acetylene torch and banged the metal back into shape as much as possible. Then we clamp the floor board and firewall together from the outside using Vice grips. Then we drill holes in one side of the metal and tried to spot weld it into place. It seems to be holding, and I think we did a pretty decent job.

I think next I will fill the remaining gap with seam sealer, or maybe place a small strip of metal in between and weld it in place.

As I am uploading the images, I realize I don't have a good AFTER shot. The shot with the hammer in it is after we did some banging and bending, but not a final shot. So I included some shots of us working on it - my friend was doing the drilling (I kept shooting right through both pieces of metal) and I did the welding.

I will go shoot a final AFTER shot and post it in a few minutes.
