Good Morning All,

I want to thank Guy at Rockford Racecraft for getting my Rods & Pistons for my Motor. I dropped off the Block, Camshaft, Timing Chain & Cover and the Balancer (thank John Waller). So we could get started building the motor.





Dave was only able to spend a couple hours on the truck last week. So not much was done. He was able to get the bracing started behind the dash for the steering column, brake pedal and the vintage air. We are going to put tabs on the rod so we can anchor the wire harness to it to keep the underside of the dash clean.



Here is a close up of the pedal brace

You can see how nice the column comes through the firewall. Trying to keep it as clean as possible. We also lowered it about an inch to gain the needed header clearence.



Here is the start of the new dash surround.



Here is the first template - three 3 3/8 guages with two 2 1/16 guages



Here is the 2nd attempt - three 3 3/8 guages with four 2 1/16 guages

Here is the third template - three 3 3/8 guages with two 2 1/16 guages & 2 5/8 guages. Guy at Rockford Racecraft was kind enough to lend me some guages to play with. I plan to make some more mock up dashes tommorow night.

Thats all for this week. More to come soon
