The body has been welded all along the trans tunnel and around the B-pillars, like I
mentioned earlier. A bright light inside the car and welding from the underside, I found
a wealth of small holes and misses in my welds, and also a few places where the work
wasn't quite finished. The bottom part of the rear end of the body still to do before
primerig the underside.
A few days went into designing, some shopping for materials and making an ignition
wire holdup thing. The ignition wires need to be held with something, since they run
above the exhaust headers. This design utilizes the original loom inside a
rectangular pipe.
When I got it in place, I thought it looked awful big and didn't like it. Even painted, and
decorated with brass acorn nuts, it looks too bulky to me, so I tried a simpler approach,
which I like better.
I made these things from nylon and they hold the ignition wires nicely and scurely. They
are held together with M3 screws and nuts, I think about #5 - 40 size. This is what's
holding the wires to the unpainted pieces of flat bar in the above pic.
I made these things from nylon and they hold the ignition wires nicely and scurely. They
are held together with M3 screws and nuts, I think about 5-40 size. The plastic looks
very light gray here, because they're sanded with coarse sanding paper, but it's
actually black nylon.
