Brakes showed up today!!! if you haven't tried them, Matts Classic Bowties is top notch. Kim has always taken care of me and never made me feel rushed. It's nice having a trusted source who takes time to answer my questions.

Drivers side cowl box was way off. I had to reshape the radius that meets with the upper cowl and lower it about 1/2". I sliced each side and hammered it into shape. Once I had it the way I wanted I welded in pie shaped pieces to fill the gaps.

Thanks. My goal is for it to blend right in when I'm finished.

I got hung up with making the hydraulic clutch bracket so I'm a little behind on finishing up the firewall. I couldn't find the dimensions of the 98-02 clutch master cylinder anywhere on the Internet. The parts store should have one in tomorrow afternoon so I can finish up my bracket. In the mean time I tore down the sub frame.

I got the old shock and upper control arm mounts cut off and the frame cleaned up. I went through a lot of cut off wheels and grinding discs. I wouldn't do this without a torch or plasma cutter if I had to do it again. Way too much work. Same goes for sanding and spot blasting. Next time it's going to the blaster.

I picked up some 1/4 x6 flatbar and the UCA jig Tuske427 sent. I cant thank tuske427 enough! I'm almost ready to start mocking up the front end.
