96 Thunderbird very slow daily build


Recommended Posts

I had so much I wanted to do to mine but some days it would run like a champ and other days it wouldn't even start. Took out the factory seats and put some basic thunderbird seats in it so I could get the trashed 35th anniversary seats repaired but never even made it that far before calling it quits.

Well I got a little more work done and made a few mistakes. 1f620.pngFirst mistake was underestimating how much of a pain it was going to be trying to make this wall as big as possible (compound angles apparently not my strong suit). and another was going a little overboard with spray foam lol.

First was welding in a good ground point. The car is uni body so I tried to pick the meatiest part of the body to attach things too.

I'm going to attach two 1/0 cables to this and run them to a distribution block for the amps

This is starting on the back wall. The lower frame and upper piece sandwich over whats left of the rear deck and is screwed and glued into the body.

Here is a shot of the first layer of the upper side of the wall and second back wall

I have to make a angled piece for the top to back connection but I thing i might try just fiber glassing all the weird angled sections that i'm going to have left

This probably isn't the best idea but I had to relocate the upper seat belt mount so I could get the wall all the way over and sealed off. Here is the new upper mount it will be bolted and welded to the factory location and surrounded by layers of the wall.

And here's one of the fuck ups.

It looks like I might have went a little too heavy on the spray foam and it pushed out the bottom of the window just a little and it pealed the paint off the glass. I think to fix it is I'm going to try and just cover the whole window with vinyl.

 

There are no such things as fuck ups! ? looking good so far man..that seat belt is anchored better than it was before I’ll tell you that ??
