Thanks guys....
Ender - you are exactly correct. days...... days....... and days..... 80-100 spot welds my step dad said that exact thing... And Dan - yeah, there will be more, the rhd wall.... it's going to get split in half so it doesn't get all bent and buggered up and re welded in the middle. It helps to have a registered welder/business owner who has all necessary equipment and know how more pics to follow tomorrow - my phone wasn't working well earlier --------------------  |

And just what are you doing sitting down at the computer? Get back outside and keep drilling!

If you used a step bit, it probably would have gone a lot faster lol
That's what I used for the rad support on my car, worked way better and faster and a regular drill bit |

I have used spot weld drill bits on EVERY spot weld...... I promise.
It's not going any faster..... If I could make it go faster I would  THis for example http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-in...tter-95343.html -------------------- |

I used this:
http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ecodZ5yc...p;storeId=10051 Took about 30 seconds or less per spot weld.....but that's with a little bit of force.....which made me go through 3 of them, but I just returned it and got a new one since it was less than 14 days from when I bought it lolol and I didn't used and wd-40 when drilling or let it cool off.

I've gone through 5 bits.... and counting.
The challenge with this is that I've got 80+ spot welds.... for each fire wall .... so x2 I have to center punch each spot weld.... and then drill each weld, which when drilling about 8 inches off the ground, is very uncomfortable -------------------- |

firewall almost out.... thanks to the help from the plasma torch, we're cutting the car from around it to help keep it as good as possible. only seam sealer in the engine bay corners, and the left side top corner metal are keeping it in there

I have apparently successfully managed to post nothing. There was originally a humorous demotivational poster there, but it has disappeared. I would edit that post to add that picture back in, but quite frankly I'm proud of myself for successfully tricking 6gc.net and creating a blank post.
Now get back to work!!
