Crap! I was getting ready to put my new "Chassis Saver" paint on the engine
compartment and remembered that I hadn't removed the last two mounting screws
I had to cut off from my original heater box. No big deal. Out comes the
chisel and hammer to tap them with and a small pair of vice-grips to twist
them out.
A few miutes later, they were both out, but I was now painfully aware of just
how little metal was actually left of the tray there. If I had remained
unaware, I coulda painted it and put the new stuff back and gone blissfully on
my way till the battery hit me in the foot some day. But nooooo. Now that I
know, I'm reminded once again that I really need to get a welder and take some
lessons.
Instead, I'll probably try to get it to my neighbor's body shop some night
after work and cut it all out, form up a new one on his brake and watch him
weld it in. Man, I need to learn this welding stuff!
