This is a customer car that came in to the shop in order to take care of some new sheetmetal work on the firewall, misc under belly welding and repair, new suspension front and rear, minor paint work, along with some misc odd's and end's.
Originally a very nice California car, it did require some attention in order to do the transplant of a NRE 800 HP BB in the car along with a new brake system from ABS.
The car is almost complete now and will post pics as often as possible.

Adhesive backed weld splatter paper. Protects the paint....

Good question and yeah, Ron is correct.
It's an anti spatter type paper to protect paint, windshields, interiors, etc. but don't rely on it being 100% protection. You still need to be careful of where your throwing sparks and with your welding, specifically MIG welding.
It's avaiable at your local body shop suplly house. Not cheap but worth the money.

I am so impressed with your work. There aren't many people who can turn metal into functional art but you are one of them.

I do a lot of welding repair on buckets for Catapillar and Kawasaki loaders at work and I feel I'm pretty good at it. I'm usually welding 1/2 inch wall plate, 1/2 inch bucket liners, weld-on cutting edges and such but man, working with sheet metal is sooooooo much harder, at least to me. I am loving these pics man. Keep em coming!

Well, I think your welds need some work!, Oh, wait a minute it's MY welds that need some work!!!!! Very, very, good work Dan. Quite impressive. I think the firewall looked good before it was painted with all that shiny new metal. congrats.
