Filling Holes
Here is a shot of the firewall. Looks like it's been a target for the Army! FULL of holes.
I found some washers that would fit the big holes, 4 that were 1 1/8", 3 that were 7/8" and 2 more that were 5/8". These I stuck on a magnet, inserted from face so washers went into holes, then tacked. Then welded all of these, little at a time, weld-chip-brush, repeat! 
Then welded up all of the smaller holes, 1/4", 3/8", and miscellaneous others! Counted 42 holes all together. Then started---------GRINDING! 
haaahaaa. Getting to be my favorite part. heeheeee. I ground (grinded) did grinding 
till it got too dark to see what I was doing. I feared grinding so much I would create MORE holes. 
So gave it up for the day. Up this morning, raring to go again! No call to work, so I'll go get clamps then grind some more!
