>Yep - I have Spot in my garage. I still owe Sid some bucks for it. When I

>Roadster money now Sid:)
>Spot is in much better shape then Rusty, which now RIP. I had strict
>orders
>to have it gone before I could have Spot. I did save the body for panels I
>need. Spot came without a back panel and trunk floor. The bad part was
>the
>person (not Sid) that cut the back off Spot cut across the body work about
>2
>inches up from the truck lid opening. Cutting the same piece from Rusty
>was
>very labor intensive - about 16 hours to make patterns, cut/fit, cut/fit,
>cut/fit.......... I now have it very close and ready to weld. I plan on
>using my MIG with gas, spot weld every inch or so to minimize warping, then
>finish welding the seams. Sound right???? I also cut the tunnel/firewall
>and inch on the bottom of each side then up to the tunnel/firewall
>intersection. This will allow me to move the motor (Buick 3.8 turbo) and
>trans (WC T5) back so the shifter comes out in the Roadster 5 speed
>location. These mods did not effect the gas petal placement.
>Another question for ye smart ones. The floors on Spot are rusty, but just
>a few small holes. This left the floors a bit weak. I thought about
>laying
>some fiberglass down after treating the rust to strengthen them. Can I put
>glass over POR 15 or other rust getter?? I will weld in better supports
>for the seats, but really don't want to cut out the floors.
>As I get motor stuff sorted I will start getting Spot's body looking good.
>I will have to rework the rear flares (PO did a pretty good job) so they
>match side to side. They are flared enough so 225's will fit without
>rubbing. Sid had the iron cross Toy Supra wheels on it with 225/70/14's.
>Looked real tough!
>I want to THANK Sid for getting Spot to me. The condition of Rusty was
>putting a serious slow down on my custom project. It was great to finally
>meet Sid and see Chris again in Atlanta. I will tell you that
>Roadster/SEROC people are first class!!! One day I WILL get to Shasta!
>Happy Roadstering!
