Damn 5 days?!? Craziness.

Don't like the paint choice for the bay though....should've matched it with the car IMO. But if that's you, then do it! Lol good conversion

Nice work on the firewall swap! I have seen some real hack jobs before and yours looks great! Congratulations!

Were you worried about the chassis flex once the firewall was out? Did you obsessively measure or what?

Yes after we set the firewall in we kept making measurements as we were welding and the good thing was all the spot welds were lining up from firewall to firewall so that eased our minds
