In South Texas these things are everywhere.
After getting the Scorpions out of the car parts Gianina decided to give a hand.

After getting the engine out again. I boxed the strut tower to give me room for the belt and pulleys. I still wonder how other get away with not doing this???? Or they did not post it? Not sure but I had to.
I just decided to cut it out and weld back in.
Welding the piece back
I cut this piece out of the dog bone bracket that I removed.
I will have to paint the engine bay before the engine goes back in.

I have always had the attitude of just do it when it comes to cars. I never think about it I just cut it up then I have to put it back together. Don't take it the wrong way I have been known to scrap a car or two in the last 35 years or so. There are always casualties. In the end it is just a car.

I did not cut the tower. I just made two or three "dents" in the places that were to close or touching.

I rerouted the belt drive so I didn't need the idler pulleys and could remove them... no mods to the strut tower.
