Nice work thus far!

Duane,

I appreciate your advice sir. I have not done any body work on the passenger side yet. I have been waiting on the corner firewall piece from PB which should be on the porch when I get home. My Vintage Air came yesterday as well so I should be able to make some good progress this weekend.

So did you just weld the evaporator bracket to the inside of the firewall instead of using the bolts?
