Hey guys, posting early today, have stuff to do later.

Got the new cowl panels welded in place.

Pic 1 Started installing "*****in" floor kit. Kit came with new braces, body mounts, etc. Passenger side view.
Pic 2 Drivers side view.

I guess site would not show company name because of the langauge, it starts with a B and rhymes with witch. Anyhow here is the center hump installed, it was a two piece deal, made for easy alignment.

Pic 1 shows the outside before removing set up screws.
Pic 2 shows seam sealer applied at all joints.
Pic 3 Not a good picture, no flash, but floor painted with Eastwood encapsulator paint.

Pic 1 both outside lower cowl corners were removed, inside was blasted and painted with encapsulator paint.
Pic 2 New panels installed

I was looking at *****in products and noticed they have two floor kits, one stock and the other for their firewall kit. Which one did you use? That dash is exactly what I have wanted to install in my truck and had almost given up on the idea until I saw yours. I've got to have one. Don

Nice build: need any rain?

Don, I used the one for the stock firewall. Part #751002 (at that time). The dash part #742120 and the lower panel part #371041. Bitc--n was going to make one for the 47-53 pickups, but I never saw it. I just decided to make the one for car work. If I can help with more info, let me know. Jim
