jy211,
The firewall started out as a sheet of 16 gauge sheetmetal. It was the first time I attempted something like this but I think it turned out OK. I just used cardboard to build a template.
Below is how the car started. I took it all the way down to the frame. Installed all new stainless fuel and brake lines, new exhuast that I will have coated at a later time. Also a Rick's Hot Rod Shop stainless fuel tank.
I included some additional pictures of the wilwood brakes and the wheels.
Below is how I brought the A/C and heater hoses from the Vintage Air unit to the engine compartment.
The car will be painted a different color that has not been decided yet. I change my mind everytime I see some of the cars at the Goodguys events with the high quality paint jobs.
