Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.

Seat belts. For the lap belts, I made anchors out of 1/4" plate. Welded grade 8 nuts.


Plug welded from the inside:


From the under side:


For the shoulder belts, I made similar anchor plates:


I attached a piece of welding wire and fished them up into the B pillars:


Plug welded in place. You can see I had to drill a hole to run the fish wire:





Inner fenders... They were hacked by previous owner with acetylene torch. I went through the trouble of patching in multiple pieces. I guess I like to TIG weld... Should have bought new one.


Installed:



Patched the fender badge holes with the TIG welder. I love welding with this setup. Miller 215, w/ CK #9 flex torch, SSC pedal, 040" tungsten.


A little bit of file and metal finish.
