Hey Choctaw Bob...Now about an intro for those of us that don't know you?

Al, don't you have enough to do without taking on another forum?:lol:

Of course I do! I'm simply addicted to meeting really nice folks with a common bond of these renegade cars! :razz:

 

[Youngster]

Well said Al, Thanks!!!

While I have your attention, what did you use for the cover on your firewall?

Ron, I used a blank or sheet of 1/8" aluminum... made a template and then transferred the outline to the blank. I used my 4" cutoff wheel and cut it out... smoothed the edges then placed the new firewall on the car and marked all the carriage bolt positions and hole locations for fuel block, thru-wall connector for coil, throttle cable, etc... unfortunately for the 9 carriage bolts, I had to use a drill then with a small hand file, square out the holes... the AN fittings are for the heater I was adding... :razz:

This picture is just after fabrication... then on to a little polishing then off the the chrome plate shop...

That's about it... nothing fancy!

Thanks Al. Maybe nothing fancy, but very effective. Again, sorry for the hi jack.
