Thanks for the feedback. I got my feet with with this stuff on my first build, my bare metal 58 is up on here somewhere.

Updates...

-almost done with the trans tunnel. way more clearance than I'll need I'm sure but me likey. Tried to utilize some of the factory seams so it kinda looks like it belongs.
-Finished the passenger side floor repairs by getting the floor braces in there. Man the rear cab braces I bought are totally off, both of them needed rework to even come close to fitting. Front ones were good though.
-driver side cab corner repaired
-did a little work on the center of the firewall. With an LS I figured no need for such a high center there and I thought it looked better with a thicker section there.
-I'm was going to fill the cowl vents but then decided the patina on that part is just too cool to lose so I think what i may do is make some removable covers for the wiper arm access areas so keep air/rain out. Water can just drain down the sides of the cowl if its ever in the rain.
