that's a good one - i'll be there on Monday and i'll aks him.

We also need to look at Johnson Hot Rods after seeing the cuda they built i am going down the same road with my firewall. I can't wait to cut my firewall for the 3rd time. This time i think it will be perfect.

Good Morning All,

The final pieces of the bed floor have been cut and ready for welding. It's starting to look complete.

Filler Neck for Fuel - It actually is just above the bed floor

Okay your not going to belive it but it's coming apart again.

just a cool picture

why is it coming apart - well were redoing the firewall for the 3rd time. Maybe this time i'll be happy.

Yep that dam string is back.

While we are there we are going to open up the wheel tub area and make them look exactly the same and offer more clearence.

More to come next week - New Firewall and New Crazy Idea's

Well Kinda of. We are going to do something very similar. I'll keep everyone up to date on the new firewall. I've spent a lot of time rethinking it and i think it will look 100% better. I want to thank Laramie at Precision Brakes for helping me with the new, new, new Master Cylnder and Brake Pedal Combo. It should finish the firewall

Here is what i've learned.
1. Don't move you engine over to clear your steering Shaft (move your steering shaft)

2. If you move your motor over (or back to factory location) you may cause these problem.
A. The motor just doesn't seem right in the engine bay
B. Create's all Kinds of Problems when trying to make inner Fenders
C. Remember Center is Cool.

3. Did i mention don't lower the motor (sounded like a good Idea at first)
A. The benifit of lowering were soon outweighed when we found we had little or no room for the inner fenders

4. and Most important
A. Have a plan and try to stick to it.

Okay here is a quick midweek update.

As you all know something is wrong with me.
We've moved the motor back to the center and i am finally happy again.

And Yep we've even added one more string.

You can see exactly how much it moved over if you look at the intercooler elbow.

more to come tommorow

We still plan to raise the motor up to gain more tire clearence however looks like the trans tunnel is going to get cut.

Yep it's center
