Here is the dash and the cowl. Will get the firewall pics later this week.
Quarters are off and everything treated with POR 15. Drivers quarter is finished (for now) and the outer wheel house and trunk outerare welded in.

The new wheel houses are widened and tacked in place. Everything fit very tight. The lip on top ofthe wheel houses and the spare tire notch remain so it should finish out nice and look stock. The rear valance will be welded in and smoothed to the quarter panels so everything behind was treated with POR15 first.
Next is the fuel cell and finish the trunk floor.







Thanks,
Brent

Anyway, love the car!!!

Do either one of you Boonville guys know Jr. Blackford? Is that rear end set up a kit or home built? Looks good!
