update:
Still working on trimming and fitting.
I took many measurements of the before and after. Before on the blue car. After on the white/blue car. I'm within 1/4 inch now and hoping to get it a bit closer. Michael says it's good at 1/8". For me it depends on where that 1/8" lies. He actually was impressed with my work so far.
Right now I have it apart and working a few items as I expect this to be the last time I take it apart before putting some welds on it.
Moving the clutch pedal over 1". Maybe the brake too, but we'll see. that mounting board is hard as heck... pardon my language
, dulled 3 drill bits so far.
also turning it back rightside up. it was upside down before due to fitment.
Then some of the structure around the inner fender needs some work. So I'll do it "while I'm in there" and before I close it up.
I'll cut and fit the cowl piece but not final weld it until the 2 pieces come together.
Teaser Picture. Michael and I both wanted to see it with the front end on...
