On a roll this week, still making some progress.


Got the upper kick panel patch welded in and cleaned up. (Sorry for the crappy pic.)





I moved to the firewall area and started mocking up the firewall patch kit that I got from member Porterbuilt. (See the link below for the firewall patch kit.)

(FYI: The radius patch is a rough cut piece and you have to trim it to fit your firewall.)







AC delete panel temporary in place.



Tacking it up



Fully welded in. Notice that the radius patch has been trimmed and mocked up as well.




I used the round blank from the kit and patched up the blower motor opening in my new cowl panel.






Boy, do I love grinding. At least it turned out good.



Firewall shots.








The cowl is just set in place at the moment, it'll be coming back off so I can dress up the round blank some more. Once the cowl is cleaned up and welded in I'll weld the radius panel to the firewall.

Hopefully, I can stay motivated and keep the progress going. Stay tuned for more updates.
