I took the afternoon "off" yesterday and ran a few errands. Dropped off the driveshaft to be shortened 2.75" and handed off the accessory brackets to DeTray Plating for satin nickel coating. Also cruised thru the Pick and Pull and found a map light assembly I think I can modify to fit in the area between the visors. Last stop was at Metal by the Foot to pick up some materials to build a set of outriggers and wheelie bars for my dad's scooter. (A story for another time.)

What little time was left yesterday I spent prepping the cowl for the new firewall. Had to remove the remains of the original f/w and trim the rot away to make way for the new lip I'll build from some sheetmetal strips. I drilled the spotwelds to remove the subframe pieces that attach to the firewall. The new f/w doesn't come with those components and they add a lot of strength, so I'll transfer them before I start the final welding.
