Thats the kind of work i like !!!! Way to go man and cool story too...

One question, are you leaving the windshield gusset bar this size or if you are putting something smaller down the road? I read the ones with pictures so i dont know if its been discussed or not.... Kinda overkill a little lol!! And, arent they in your view a little lol!!! I usually do these smaller and i think its the general way its done. But maybe you have a reason i missed?

Car is gonna be fantastic! And who can argue with a '67 Goat!! I had same story with my old man.... I know the feeling! Good for you that you decided to make YOUR life your priority. Nobody but yourself can do that.


Keep the welder buzzin'!!

I really appreciate those words, actually puts a smile on my face, so thank you!

As far as the windshield gusset bar, its just personal preference. i have seen the smaller bar size before but didn't chose that route for the reason that it wouldn't benifit anything, the roof bars triangulate through those bars, so a smaller bar there would make it the weak point. also i have ocd on certain things, it wouldn't flow in my eyes and bug the crap out of me lol

There is actually more progress than this, ill have to go take pics tomorrow but here is a mock up of where the exhaust will go, except it will actually be coming out of the rocker panel/ quarter area



I also ordered a lokar gas pedal, i thought it was going to be bigger than this, but i planned on making the pedal pad a lot bigger anyways

[67goatman455]

i have my exhaust routing coming together slowly, adding sleeves to my cut-outs with 1/4" pipe.


made a fuel cell cage for my fuel safe tank


and where i have stopped for now on floor progress.
