I see I have a new blogspot friend joining me. Hi Lilia! Lilia was my grad date from wayyyyy back. Not going to mention how far back :) Thanks for joining Lilia!
Also I received some emails from some old friends and co workers who are going to be following this blog. I guess I'm gonna have to spice things up and make myself look better than I really am.
Here we go...
Next on my rust hit list was replacement of the battery apron. This was almost an easy install but once again the replacement parts required a bit of encouragement to fit. What a PITA.
As you can see I created some stitch welds here from the outside of the apron. This created a fairly seamless look when viewed from the engine bay. No grinding required :)
Since i'll be pushing some pretty big numbers from my motor I decided to add the same reinforced shock tower treatments that were used on the Boss 302 Mustangs. I was lucky to find a guy on ebay who was gracious enough to sell me a full reinforcement package that he designed himself which replicates and betters the old system. It consisted of two wrap around plates that mate with the existing tower reinforcement plates as well as an additional plate that stiffens the inside of the shock tower where the tower meets the frame rail.
