Re: "1950 GMC" -Charlotte

Once I got done with those, I took a good hard look at that hole where the old booster was...well I was in a patching mood!

Pic 1, I cut out the old booster hole with the adjacent bolt holes. Ok, before y'all ask, "You're going with a firewall mounted booster, why didn't you keep it?"... 1st, if you look, it wasn't the best install in the first place and would take some work to dress it up to spec, at least where i'd be satisfied. 2nd, i'm probably going to move the column to be center under the gauges so the hole would need to be moved anyway so going this route probably save me some time in the end.

Pic 2, patch cut, fit and stitched in. I did the forms by hand on the vice. not exact, but I like my handywork.

Pic 3, with things somewhat smoothed out.
