Worked more on the firewall Saturday. This time on the driver inner cowl. Lots of cutting old stuff out, fitting the new panel, some English wheeling, welding, and grinding. Still have a few small areas to finish up, but I’ll get to that in a few weeks when I get to work on it again. I think I’m going to put the driver tulip back to factory looking and put my wiper motor back there like I had it.

I finished off the day putting the dash in. I need to fit a 3 gallon dry sump tank somewhere and I’m looking at the area in the corvette frame in the passenger footwell. There is a toe board there that ties the frame to the inner frame. I’m thinking I can cut out the top section and build an access panel on the bottom for oil changes. I’ll have to move the HVAC module to the middle of the dash, but it looks like I’ll have the room to do it. There is about a 5” deep area where GM put the fuse block and BCM so that gives me a bit of room to work with too.

I’m going to have to widen dash about 2” to get to the door jamb and lengthen the side panels. My other option is to build out the door panels to meet up to the dash. I’ll figure it out when I get the door mounted back up.
