Next are the A pillar frames and the lower edges. I'm not going all the way across with the lower edge because this will be where the donor car firewall will merge with the original 49 cowl and hinge pillar and I don't know what I'll have going on there till I get the donor car.
I put a small piece of 3/16" steel across the top of the die to help spread out the pressure across a larger area. These frames will be 1" x 1".
I made a template taken from the glass to help locate the two pieces and tacked them together.
When I got them where they belong, I welded them up.
Both A pillars welded and cleaned up. You can see the top bar laying there with the ends split. I will form the bend by hand then cap off the sides.
I started locating the assemblies into the car. This is critical and I am pretty ragged by now so I'm going to leave this at this point and start fresh in the morning.
