The past couple weeks have been a cycle of grinding, glassing, repeat with a number of areas on the underside of the floorpan. This is the passenger's inner fender well. I've also reglassed a repair on the tunnel, closed several holes on the tunnel, and cleaned up where the serpentine belt and AC delete bracket rubbed on the driver's inner fender panel. Goal is to finish all this in the next nine days and get the body off to the media blaster, then the body shop.
Today while the glass was drying I swapped the deep truck pan for the batwing Corvette pan. The old exhaust got in the way of the wings, so I took the sawzall to them. I'll get new pipes bent when I get the headers. I've got to figure out if the engine needs to move forward or if I need to shorten the driveshaft.
During the week, I hauled the engine harness in the house and started pulling it apart and removing unnecessary wiring. Next step is to lay it on the engine and start working on reconfiguring it to better fit in the Corvette.
