Thats a serious bummer, 35Ford. Kudos for not giving up right there. That's a great looking job, moparme. Where did you get that firewall panel? I really tried to stay away from it until fall but it just kept pulling at me. I saw a guy with a 40 Ford at the local Arby's and was checking out his LS1 carburator conversion kit. Very cool...I couldn't hold back after that.

Thanx, I got the metal in 14-16 ga steel, 4'x8' sheets cut in 1/2 to transport home in the Subaru. I cut all the pieces w/cutoff wheels. I was takin my time. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do before I cut it out and came up with nothing. So I went and cut it out and damn if I didn't have a ton of Ideas after that. So there it is. Templates were made from cardboard. It Just got easier the further I went. You'll see. When you are in over your head, You'll know what to do. If you really want it, You'll make it happen. you wait and see. I am glad I did mine. no regrets at all.
