mazpower will become famous soon enough
Spot weld drills are wonderful things. Got the braces off so the tunnel can be reshaped. After the tunnel is welded back up, these braces will be spot & stitch welded back on.






Cuts extended farther up...




And the pounding begins! Reshaping the tunnel on the driver's side...




Shaping finished on driver's side...still a lot of cleanup to do and welding, but its basically there...


About to start on the passenger side...


Got the tunnel completely widened last night, went from 16" to about 21", which will allow dropping the T56 tranny without having to pull the engine, should the need arise. The passenger side needs more shaping, gonna tackle that on Wednesday and start the cleanup...
