12/11/23: Yesterday (Sunday), my compressor parts arrived. These were ordered on 11/16 and finally delivered via USPS. I was pleasantly surprised that the Post Office was making deliveries on Sunday. Since I now had my parts, I assembled my compressor and it works!

I finished welding in the passenger side floor and lower cowl. The compressor was able to keep up with the die grinder so it was much quicker grinding down the welds. I stuck a light behind the toe board to see the pin holes so I didn’t miss anything.

It’s not perfect but it’s solid and will be covered up anyway. I’ll apply a bit of bondo on the lower cowl to smooth it out a after I finish the metalwork. I’m happy with the results and now have the confidence to do a better job on the drivers side.
