Thank you !
Roof panel will be replaced with no sunroof fiberglass panel.
Tip: make sure that your tube notching is very tight.
Spend the time to fit them as close as possible. It takes a while but it is easier to fill the gap and will give you stronger joint.
Make sure that your heat is set right,practice on the scrap piece of tubing to set the welder right.
Take your time.... Cage is your safety. _________________ www.btr-chicago.com

Yes it is late model radiator support. First idea was to run 944T intercooler with GTS intake, but I think I want to build a larger ,custom intercooler that would look closer to original. _________________ www.btr-chicago.com

Great, many thans!
How much work was it, you did it all with point drill, and only cut the 'a' pillar? _________________ 937 trackday car

No cut at the a pillar. Just a 'join'. Grind back to expose spot welds and joins. _________________ 1980 931 - forged pistons, Piper cam, K27/26 3257 6.10 hybrid turbo, 951 FMIC, custom intake, Mittelmotor dizzy & cam pulley, H&S exhaust, GAZ Gold, Fuch'ed, Quaife
