I welded the small steel bulkheads onto the transmission tunnel:
The used the score and fold to close out the remainder of the opening. I left a small gap around the shifter that will get closed up with a rubber gasket eventually
Finally welded in the rest of the close out. Next will be to prime ant slather all the joints with seem sealer.
After making a list of what needs done while the engine is out, I yanked it again.
I had a stuck bolt that had broken off which held the radiator in. Now that I am using the stock radiator a while, I need that broken off bolt out. I had already worked on it for like half a day last summer and gave up. Tonight I slid a nut over it and welded it hard. The nut glowed whitish / translucent after I filled it in with wfs at 50 and heat at 4. Then it spun right out with the impact gun. I always feel like I've gotten away with something when that works.
I get the balance of this weekend, and then spring break is over. Fortunately I have a good list of things to do that are straight forward, so I can potentially get out there a little here and there before the semester ends.
