Thread: '67 Mustang Convertable build

I was looking things over the other day and then realized i had the seatbelt braces on the wrong side of the floor! Isn't that the nuts?
These 5 pics show progess to the seatriser installatiion. Theres a pic that show the amount of welding in just the toebox and it isn't near complete i that pic. Another pic show the riser sitting in place, mockup thing. It was way off and took serious clamping to set it down where it belonged, this was an original piece and had been distressed when it was removed.
Another pic shows some of the work needed on the tunnel itself, pieces had to be cut out and new welded in, nomatter what you do those tunnels from GM are rough as a cobb. I added a lite coat of filler and primed the area to be covered by the riser.
the final pic is the riser in place.

Who's pieces are you welding in? Glad to hear of some quality parts for a change!!

And realizing a mistake after you think your almost finished.. One of Murphy's little "surprises"... ain't it grand!

Yeah, a goof up. When we were kids we'd do stupid stuff like this and laugh it off. Now, at our age, people think you're going senile. I think we all do stuff like that and that is what normal people do - at leats i hope so.
Anyway, the sheetmeatl is in a 'Dynacorn' box and it says Tiawan, i do recall some pieces from Canada - i had a horrible battery patchpanel from Canada that came with the car and was quite old, but i had some new Canadian stuff that was very good too.
