Here's a quick shot of my firewall extentions.....they look much better than the pic....the light reflects funny off the grinding I did......more later.

Hi Randy,
Been busy, as usual but am slowly getting everything ready for some more base epoxy primer then polyester heavy fill primer, possibly today, but more likely tomorrow - some honey-dos need to be attended to before playing with my toys.

In this part of the country 89 degrees at this time of year along with high humidity and no breeze is beyond oppressive in my shop/garage.

If you are priming - are you using an epoxy? you are in a high humidity area as well and all the protection you can get is the way to go.

The firewall looks great - the welds seem fine by photo as long as you do't overgrind like I have a tendency to do so they end up cracking and then I need to redo them. Taking a picture that looks good of a weld after grinding can be a study in futility - the grind marks reflect light in strange directions.

I haven't been to a car show yet tho there usually are some small local ones by now but really haven't seen any advertised. Probably first that I'll be going to will most likely be the NSRA East Nationals at York, PA, 6/1-6/3. They have between 4 and 6000 cars, depending on the gas prices, we just reached $2.999/3.059 a gallon, and weather. I'm selling surplus treasures again at their swap meet, but this year is really only a good excuse to park inside with my truck as I am almost out of all I want to get rid of for now.
