1971 Firebird Build ("The Other Woman", a.k.a. Project "T.O.W.")

[carbuff]

I rented a 16' box truck today and loaded it up with parts which I then delivered to Griffith's. Phew! His shop is full of my parts now. And unfortunately, there are a few things which I couldn't find that I think I should have. I'll be digging through boxes at my storage room again tomorrow before I re-order things from Summit (I already have a few duplicates).

Eric is working on smoothing the firewall for me. I wasn't necessarily planning to do it, but since the car is so far apart, now is the time. Plus we've decided to build/add down-bars to the front of the subframe, so he's going to beef up the mount area on the firewall for those. If we are going to do that, may as well go ahead and smooth it.

He's going to mock up the install and see if we are going to have to do any transmission tunnel mod-work. One of the items I can't find are the JRS motor mount adapter plates. I am going to have to dig and see if I have them or not. I thought I did, but they weren't in with all of my other JRS goodies...

Even though I'm not doing the assembly, I got pretty excited today at least getting my hands on all the parts!
