Yup, I knew ol' Chad back when he was but a wee pup in high school, before he hit the big time.....

Damn fine work buddy

We made a bit more progress before the Christmas break! I appreciate all the kind words. My Dad seems happy and that's what counts. Right? It's taking more shape. You can finally see the overall look for the under hood coming together. Enjoy!

Again and as always, let me know what you think. Good or Bad!

I'm wondering how you plan to take it all apart... As I see the inners tacked up to the firewall...

I might have put a flange on the panel where it abuts the firewall and used a couple of blind fasteners (used a nut serf in the firewall)... and then reached up from under the fender to run the fastener home.

You might already have that all figured out. I just can't tell from the pics.

I'm on it buddy. Actually, I'm glad you asked that because I actually forgot to take pictures of that. I am really trying to put enough pics on of what we are doing so that if someone sees something they like, they can see how we did it.

The welds you see on the firewall are actually for the flange I have welded to it. That flange will have nut-serts in them. There are also flanges along the fenders and on the rad cover. The fasteners will be exposed. My Dad and I like the industrial/race look of the exposed hardware.

The gap between the inner fender covers and the inner fender wells is where we will run the a/c and heater hoses as well as other plumbing/electrical. I want this thing to look good but it has to be serviceable as well!

Do I get a pass? :sieg:

Six "attaboys" and a couple of "EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAS"




I also like the exposed hardware look.... the other way is pure show car and is fine --- as long as you never want to work on anything. HAHAHAHAHA
