The stainless grounding nuts and studs are welded in, thanks to my friend next door. There are eight in total :

  • 1/4" studs on each corner and under the trunk
  • two 1/4" nuts on the firewall cross member
  • a 3/8" nut on the PS motor mount.

Maybe (almost definitely) overkill, but at least they're available if I need them. Plus it didn't take much more time to do eight vs two or thee. Wish I knew how to weld.











And she's loaded up for the drive to the powder coater tomorrow. Still not 100% sure about color... hoping to get inspired when I get there and make a final decision. Silver, gray metallic, or good old chassis black. Or just clear... kidding.
