The dip came out great Rob! Good move.

**VRT** · 02-08-2011 08:56 AM

A acid dip is the way to go but the price is no joke -$4.50 a lb. I tried having it sandblasted earlier but the undercoating was too thick.
I had helped a friend do this to his car back in the late 90's

So to total up the cost of triing to sandblast it and then do this. I'm up to $650.00 to just cleaning it.

From here......it sucks to stare at unobtainium.

Are you sure you couldnt make a mold of that piece for production purposes?

**VRT** · 02-08-2011 08:18 PM

I don't know how. I would if I could. I have also offered anyone to come down and make a mold

**VRT** · 02-09-2011 09:32 AM

The floor will be cut out tonight from the car. Things are starting to move forward

Nice! It is a good feeling

**VRT** · 02-09-2011 10:00 AM

yes it is. The guys did short work of the syncro floor when they took out the plasma cutter. I believe they will do the same to the corrado floor

**bmxrado** · 02-09-2011 10:37 AM

are you doing this or having a shop do it?

**VRT** · 02-09-2011 11:11 AM

I can't weld
So I gave the car to a shop in town that will cut out the old floor and replace it with the syncro
Everything else you see has been done by me.

**bmxrado** · 02-09-2011 11:24 AM

nice

**pileofredparts** · 02-09-2011 06:00 PM

im jealous of the crossmember

it took me hours to get mine clean

**VRT** · 02-09-2011 08:31 PM

the corrado floor is out

the new floor will be in place tomorrow. Seems that it's not a perfect fit about 1" on each side needs to be cut out so that it fits

**Darrsh** · 02-09-2011 10:45 PM

this is about the only time i like when some one cuts up a Corrado

**JamesS** · 02-09-2011 10:56 PM

This man means business!

**ur faster** · 02-11-2011 10:45 AM

subscribed! awesome work man

**VRT** · 02-11-2011 12:58 PM

I have lots of new pic to show what really need to cut cut out on the passanger side. There is a extra reinforcement on corrados that need to get cut out or trimmed back to help slid the side panel into place.

The floor is now in it's proper place. It's been tacked into place so that we can test fit the subframe and make sure everything is level. Once it's all ok. The crew will weld up everything tight

pics to follow

**VRT** · 02-12-2011 02:41 PM

Here are pics of the floor underneath. It still has to lower a bit

**VRT** · 02-14-2011 01:58 PM

Once the floor is all in place. Next will be getting a hole for the fuel system

You must have upgraded your interweb speed, becuase all of the sudden, this thread hit turbo

Looking good!

**VRT** · 02-14-2011 04:43 PM

I'll have more pics of the subframe in the car nowas a test fit. Since they haven't welded the floor yet. They want to make sure everything lines up correctly
