The back side needs a "doghouse" to fit the intake/engine and it'll make getting to the upper bellhousing bolts a lot easier. I also bent the lower portion to match up with the toe board framework.

The flange alone added a lot of rigidity to the firewall

So much room, and ready to get the firewall welded in place (after some more test fitting of course)

Stripped down and ready for some much needed help. You can kind of see a crease on the drivers side from the accident the car was in.

Tack welded the firewall to the cowl on the outside. I'll fully tig weld it later

I have a ring roller I got for another project and it turns out it makes cool parts for a tunnel

The rings tie the two sides of the floor together with the firewall

Once the dash bar was bolted in solid and the firewall plug welded from the inside the brace could be removed, I also got the steering and brakes bolted on. Still need to brace the brake setup better.

Hung the doors and fenders and started to figure out the core support, of course I didn't get a pic with the hood emblem and bird installed

I did cut the frame horns off because they kind of went too far forward

Lot of weird screw holes. They did the cave and pave on these as well, so there was a lot of hammering and fixing before any welding could occur

I know its just random gauges and stuff (not the style I'd use) but I'm excited for the finished product

Just a few more holes to fill, and a block off to buy for the radio holes

Couldn't get the block off plate from my parts place so I made one

It turns out I had to open the hole for the column a little.

It works better with the wider top of the column on the aftermarket unit

Don't try to figure out how square things are, they might not be exactly right in these photos

It made it out in one piece and I think I may have nailed the stance (sort of, more on that later)

I snagged a very cheap HVAC unit (no defrost though) and we shall see how that works out

The majority of the floor is gone, and the rear body mounts are in place.

This is the rough plan for the rear floor section. Obviously this bed floor section is upside down, but you get the idea
