Still wouldn't be beneficial as I don't have a dadgum welder

And as far as aluminim interior... I've already got the rear bulkhead and that's about the extent of tin on the interior (I've got almost all the stock interior to put back into the car) - but I'm thinking I may go with the door panels if I can't find a nice set later (black or black/grey)... But my interests on that site more pertain to under-hood & trunk...

Fender Panels ($95/pair):


Firewall Cover w/o stock holes ($30):


Trunk Floor Liner ($70):


Solves SEVERAL of my "goals" for right about $250 shipped

 

I bought my panels from a guy on Corral, they were actually for a SN95 but plenty of people modified them to put into their fox. The problems with those aluminum peices is having to tig those in. A mig would burn right through. And speaking of, how thick are they? They do look sharp.

 

Is that gonna be thick enough to mig?? Or needs to be tig for sure??

 

They tig aluminum to mild steel???

 

I was looking at those pics, and they look to be riveted on. And hell yeah you can tig aluminum to mild steel. You can mig aluminum too, but current control and wire thickness are seriously vital.

 

Ill look into this process, pretty interesting

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

Ive searched and the only welding process I came up with was JB Weld

 

@ JB Weld

BM$ - what do you think about "wads of cash" to install something like those pieces versus actually having to fill in each individual effing hole

 

I am not the smartest cookie.. but unless I missed something in class.

Aluminum + M.S. = X. Aluminum and steel have completely different welding temps and use different currents for the processes.

Rivots pretty much the best way to go with mixing those to. Aluminum can be welded with mig.. but a spool gun is the way to go and that increases cost, and precision is still not there.

JP, I will teach you all I know... but need a welding machine... If you/we do not plan on welding any aluminum, we can pick up a TIG machine relatively cheap. Add in the ability to weld aluminum and cost greatly increases, add in the ability to weld 3/8 or thicker aluminum and cost goes up again. Wish we were closer, we could tackle all these issues and take on that roof issue.
