Re: Double Trouble - Sloper
Next on the agenda was to repair the lower passenger corner and brackets.
Fabricated these pieces up and got them ready for the install.
Before putting them into their final place I had to grind off and prep the mig weld tack areas.
Then I oxy hammer welded these up.
I personally dont like mig weld up, I prefer the old way of oxy butt welding all my panels.
I just think its cleaner and less headaches at the end of the day.
Having done the oxy work I then jigged up the dash mounting tabs into a jig that replicated the orignal angles and dimensions of the tab locations and overall dash location..
With this simple jig everything fell into place like Henry wanted it to be.
You will see also the angle tab that supports the glove box flange.
I had to replace this because of the rust damage on the lower corner.
Then plug welded the brakets in and ground smooth the heads.
