Of course, you guys understand that this isn't a "real" Pro-Touring vehicle. It will, however, be my daily driver, and as such, will be used for real "touring!'
Anyway, it seems we have more progress!
If you look carefully, you can see how I moved the engine forward by drilling new holes in the frame mounts.
And from the top...
Lot's of clearance underneath. The transfer case sits almost exactly where it did originally, though the rear crossmember is now in the rear mounting holes.
The evaporator case is built, a new evaporator has been installed, and it is all bolted on. It's a tight fit, but we have a good 3/4" clearance in the tightest places.
The defrost diaphragm didn't clear the engine inset, so...
I'll make a cover for it of course.
Clears the booster with no problems.
I love how much room is actually behind the dash! Lots of room for ducting, etc.
The heat outlet sits in the right spot too. (I think I need new carpet)
We have front sheet metal!
A friend I found on the garage door... she didn't survive the introduction.
It's raining today (on and off anyway), so I think I will work on the dash. Pics to follow, of course.
