I knew somebody was going to ask me that question...

Their is a piece of 2x2 sq. tubing .120 wall that we put inside of the inner cowl structure that was welded thru the interior underdash.. plus a 1/4 plate flange so that the round flanges for the down bars on the firewall have a bearing surface..

I put in a request to the machine shop last week to make some more flanges.. waiting on cost to see if I will offer them for sale..

I'm curious about your firewall to subframe bars that you are adding to this car. It doesn't appear that there is a cage in this car, am I correct? If so, do the bars literally just tie into the firewall? Is there enough support in the metal of the firewall to make the bars worthwhile?

The firewall in these cars is just sheet metal with no real support behind it as I recall. So I'm wondering how much actual benefit these bars would be in preventing subframe flex...

I recall seeing somewhere that you make the round adapters that go in the firewall. If so, do you sell those as well? Depending on the answers to the above, I might consider a set for my car, but I won't have a cage to attach to behind the dash...

Thanx!

No paint work on this car Tony... Owner just want to get her running again & will get painted later..

Cris,

I really like what you did with Marys car, and the plan for Matts sounds pretty cool too. The firewall AC plate on Matts car is a nice piece, is it available to the masses at this point or just a one off part for his car?

I already did this on a 2nd gen.. Tranny is huge! We will see how this one goes..

Nice project. Interested to see what kind of tunnel mods are necessary to fit that 6L80. Those things seem huge.

Nice projects going on Cris.:thumbsup:

Here is another project I am working on.. This little Nova came in for a LS conversion..

We tore the whole car apart & gave it a "Quick & Dirty" paint job... Getting a LS6 with T56, DSE mini tubs, leafs, shocks & spring relocation, was getting a Wayne Due chassis but decided to keep the orginal chassis, DSE upper & lower control arms, sway bar, & shocks, Baer brakes, Fiske wheels with PS2 tires & more...
