Dave, thanks for the pics of the console. Now that I have a welder, maybe I'll try my hand at something like that. There's also an ABS plastic place not too far from me too.
I finished fitting my floors today and started welding until I ran out of wire. I was still using the little spool that came with the welder. I'm set up with the argon now, too, but haven't started using it yet. I've cleaned the body flanges that the new floor attaches to but they still aren't all that clean so I thought the standard no-gas might work better for dirtier metal. I'm going to use gas around the firewall though. That needs to look really good. I'm really stoked about the new floors though. I think I did a pretty decent job of fitting them and can't wait to get them all welded up. I probably exceeded my grinding & cutting limit today in the noise polution department. Fortunately, there was only one person home on the back side of my apartment building today.... she's 87 and hard of hearing. I still like to be considerate by not making too much noise for too long of a time. I often roll the car back in the garage and shut the door to minimize the noise.
Anyway, hopefully I can take a couple of pics of my progress tomorrow.
I know what you mean about having too many things to fix. At least I don't have a lawn to mow so that's one thing off my list.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
