In order to mount the seats, steering wheel, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilwood.com\/index.aspx\" title=\"Wilwood Main Site\">Wilwood<\/a> pedals, I had to move the sheet metal from behind the throttle pedal area away from the driver. Otherwise we&#8217;d be driving the car with our knees figuratively in our chests.<\/p>\n<p>The driver&#8217;s side header needed some relief as well, so I extended a raised boss in the floor to the firewall, which gave the header plenty of room.<\/p>\n<p>I cut out the offending sheetmetal in a single piece, using a combination of three tools. Two are my old standbys: pneumatic wheel cutter and a Bosch jigsaw, but the third tool is one of the coolest new tools in years, a cordless <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridgid.com\/Tools\/JobMax\/EN\/index.htm\" title=\"JobMax site\">Ridgid Jobmax Multi-Tool<\/a>. Using a Bosch bi-metal &#8220;blade&#8221; (the Ridgid can use a variety of other manufacturer&#8217;s accessories), I was able to cut straight and curved lines without the bother of air lines or power cords. The Ridgid uses the new-style Li-ion batteries, and they recharge in about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also gotten a lot of use lately out of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boschtools.com\/Products\/Tools\/Pages\/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=PS21-2A\" title=\"Max Impact Driver\">Bosch&#8217;s similar toolset.<\/a> I use the little impact driver on everything. Lug nuts, suspension bolts, exhaust clamps. It can really speed up assembly and disassembly, which I do a lot when I&#8217;m figuring out fabrication sequences.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also gone from red to blue: I sold my Lincoln welders, and bought new Millers.
