had to remove the lower firewall here. It will make it a lot easier to repair the inner fender flange and remove one of the previous owners booger welds from trying to brace the frame for the z bar.

still learning how to use this bead in my bead roller. It's the Eastwood 18" vice mount one. It's nice and all but doesn't have a fence, so it's hard to keep the panel straight.

Back to floor stuff, there was some pitting and pin holes up here so I cut this out and use a piece from the repop panel I was given.
