    I believe you are looking at the dash pot. It keeps the throttle from snapping shut too fast and stalling.

    I, for one, am super excited to see what else happens to the '67 over the winter.

    Just used a jig saw for the cut, the grinder freaks out the dog

    Don't want to interrupt the princess

    Using the home made brake for the first time, the angle iron that holds the handle flexed too much and wouldn't bend the middle of the pc so I need to work on that, but hammer fixes everything

    I know this is from a while back but I am missing these brackets and would like to fab some. If you have the measurements to share I would appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Looks good. I suck at metal protection: primer, paint, etc. As soon as I do it, I blink my eyes and it is rusting. Granted I live in Florida and I have been told it is impossible to keep metal rust free in 95% humidity but I try.

    So now that you have the new metal attached what is the process after you grind it smooth? I see you have a bunch of holes between the welds. Do you fill those with welds? Is there a product you use to prevent flash rust? From this point I would do the following:

    Fill the holes with weld as sooth as I could get it
    Use some sort of rust converter
    grind it smooth again
    prime with a heavy body sandable primer
    Sand smooth
    paint as per manufacture directions

    What do you do different?

    I did fill the spots between welds with more welds. I dont coat the metal with anything yet, way too much welding to do, floor pans rear wheel housings etc. I rather clean up some surface rust than grind primer off to do all that welding.

    SO, word of advice !! when you plan on welding all weekend DON'T leave your argon tank on all night, especially on a holiday. It WILL be empty by morning. grrrrrrr so I guess I'll get to work on this spot for now
    I got this pc from a fine member here

    So what have I learned ?? Keep in mind I am new to this welding stuff.

    Make sure when you are welding that the patch stays flush with the original panel, check it often
    Weld some grind some. If you do all the welding then grind you WILL lose your mind
    Just grind off the heads of the weld, try not to hit the sheet metal, it will get so thin you will cut the patch off and start over, Please don't ask how I know this !!
    I use a 4.5" grinder with a 1/16" cutting disk turned 90 degrees from the weld. Then I just nibble at the weld until flush, then I hit it with a flap wheel and start again
    The more you try to get it perfect the worse it gets, A thin coat of filler, block sanded works wonders
    Use copper behind wider gaps it works wonders
    Heat from grinding also warps, keep a hammer handy to flatten and used compressed air to cool often
    Grinding makes your shop dirty
    DON'T FORGET TO TURN YOUR GAS OFF WHEN DONE

    Anyone know if all these holes are factory? I assume they are for seat adjustment ?
