"Doghouse" capped

Update time!

After cutting the old firewall out i realized the the floor boards need some rust repair and the lower corners on the firewall need to be rebuilt. So I decided to go ahead and make need floorboards (under support/cab mountincluded) and inner kickboard supports along with rebuilding the corners. I started with the passenger side first.

Heres the pictures with the descriptions...

First i removed old firewall and then i reinstalled the motor with the new 5sp trans and modified the trans mount to be removable.

(in 5th with some clearance, will be making new shifter)

Next i clearances the firewall and tacked on a flange

Then I braced the door jam and then i completely cut the floor out.

Before

Rebuilding

Cab under support(Old versus New)

Starting the floorboard

Then came time to make the upper peice that connects to the firewall

Then i fab'd a new inner kickboard panel

Next I welded the firewall flange and doghouse part fully

And here is on side ready to be drilled for spot welds and to be welded in place.

Then im on to the other side and then Ill build a new removable trans tunnel and the cab will be 95% done.

WOW, looks great ! i think it would look good to roll a couple panels into that firewall also, just to break up the flat a little .

Thanks. I agree with you, it would look good but its too big for my roller and when i get the inner fenders in you wont see as much of the firewall.

**67cheby** · 11-21-2012, 01:42 PM

cool ! i understand ! beautiful work !

thor · 11-21-2012, 07:21 PM

Wow! Your reproduction of the floor pieces is incredible! Nice work!
