Just little slow around here lately, probably due to holidays and such. Your work looks good, keep it up. I`m still plugging away on mine.

Ok...
So very sorry for not posting in a while!
Here's my latest and greatest. My 69 roadrunner didn't come with a trunk brace.
Soo...I was able to Salvage one from Clay & Sons Mopar salvage yard this past fall.
After some clean up, the Passenger's side of the trunk brace was toasted! (Betwee the blue masking tape)
So I measured, double checked measurements, grabbed a piece of 18 gauge sheetmetal and created a patch piece rather than purchase a new one.
I carefully made a cut along my blue masking tape and welded the patch piece and Passenger's side end together.
I welded in a small reinforcement piece that will eventually be covered with the trunk pan. It should reinforcement that weak point.
This is the side that will be see from under the car. I will trim the excess once the piece is fully fabricated.
Here is the second cut I made.
I welded the patch piece in with that reinforce the weld seam
I forgot to take pictures of the finished product. More to follow.
Next steps: Road to Rotisserie.
1. Reinforce Frame? Do I need to add temporary bracing before I put on the rotisserie?
2. Remove K-member
3. Remove rear suspension and 8-3/4 rear end.
4. Mount on Rotisserie!!!
Let me know what you think!
