im curious on something that generally never gets shown in pics becuase its probably not something folks dont think about. when one does a cowl delete on the firewall, how much of the upper dash pad do you have to trim to make it fit along the new windshield/cowl line?

small detail i know but it never gets mentioned

I cut all of it out and going to be installing a fiberglass dash with mounts and dzus fasteners. I don’t have a dash to test fit at the moment or I would take some pics for ya.

Latest progress. Mounting fenders and building dzus brackets for them. making the one piece front end bars, framing and drilling holes in the hood, mounting dzus rails and 5600 screws! Very very time consuming lol

Yea air to water is in the cab. I try to make it simple lol. I hope cold side isn’t that bad. I have another firewall pass through for cold side. Waiting on turbo to come back from forced inductions.
