Wake Brittany up and put her work!!!!!! I think the motivational problem may be too many toys in the garage and driveway, I have a little room for the 4 wheeler in my garage!!!!:lol:

well i dunno..lol i dont have much motivation and it being for myself its a little hard to get it done ya know....i bought a 86 tahoe blazer a while back and it needs a motor/tranny. it would be for my little brother. its a 2 door blazer. the suburban is a 88 1/2 ton. 500 for it. its seen its last days as far as it goes. it runs drives great but interior is shot...so i might part it out...or thru the scales...

Im wondering why you added that piece to a beautiful firewall? Dont get me wrong I know what its used for but there are other ways that would have been way cleaner.

itll be smooth when its finished. One of the reasons i did this was the simple fact of....i didnt know what to do!! lol :lol: it was the only thing i had in mind as far as what to do for the steering column and the brake booster. Please note that the firewall was cut back an inch.

Nice progress on the project. Keep it up. I know how hard it is to stay motivated on one project. I call it Vehicular ADD.

If you added a 45 degree sloped piece all the way around the booster mount addition it would clean up the look a lot and make it look like less of an addition.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 
This may or may not be a dumb question or maybe I missed it in reading, but what is the extra thick plate on the firewall for around the steering and brake booster area? sorry if i just missed it . Nice looking build by the way
