Small progress made this weekend

I thought to share with you all on the small progress made using the metal shrinker and strecher from eastwood. This is a great tool for some of the needed repairs. Currently working on the tranny tunnel section of the floor board. Hope fully I will have it installed next week some time.


This is the new piece I fab up and this was my second attemp. I have never in the past made anything this complicated before so this tool is really cool in my book.

Wow! That is an amazing job. I see you are in Salem, I think you are the closest F1 owner I've seen yet on FTE.
