Thanks uncle! I finally got the welder all dialed in and working nice.



I was finally able to finish my lower firewall piece off today. I did end up having to cut out a section in the middle and replace it due to warping from my poopy welds, but I managed to get it completed. I also got started on my foot well. I was able to clean out the inside of my front pillar quite nicely but I don't have any weld through primer. So I figure that's ok, Ill go raid my dads shop. Turns out he only had a quarter of a can and I could not get it to spray. More or less just spits out so I was not able to weld in my piece. Haha oh well, hopefully I can find some tomorrow. Anyways I will get to the part of my post that keeps this site going! PICTURES!

More progress today. I did some measuring from my exsisting passenger floor pan up to underside of dash and when compared to the new pice of the drivers side it was 3/8" higher so Im pretty happy I caught that before I started welding. I cut 3/8" of of my new foot well piece but then it wouldn't line up by the door jamb. So now I have cut 1/4" out of that piece and tacked in a filler piece. Now I've got alot of tack welding to do but im ok with that, gives me some practice on a piece that is out and easy to access Here are the pictures:
