Finished welding the tunnel hump

05/16/2017

All burned in, now I gotta spend time grinding down the welds. Think I need a more aggressive disc.
I started filling the spot weld holes on the top of the tunnel, they take a lot more time because you blow through if you hold the trigger too long mostly because of the flux core.
Also have to get under the tunnel and flap disc the holes. I very clearly had some gunk in one of my welds in the first hole I filled. It looked like a little molten boil that popped. At least I can correct it when i see it.

I may have to pull the shift cause there's exactly 19 inches under the pinch weld and thats the same to the shifter nub.

Oil pump and pick-up install
