Re: 2.5 easy questions!

1. The best one is one you make the way you like. (You can choose where you will place your AC lines.)

1.5 This is a fairly common mod with customs. Here is a pic of my channel cut down, not boxed.

Just search shaved, or smooth firewall.

How's your build going? I haven't seen any updates in a while....

I took a month off; lots of other projects including ones the wifey and work want me to do.





I searched but didnt see much on the process. I cut off the lip (quick and easy with help from my friend Mr. Plasma; didnt even pull the hood!). Im planing on capping the top with a 3/16 strip to cover the panel laps and welding it in unless someone tells me to do it some other way.

Now on the hunt for a GEN III!

Re: 2.5 easy questions!

Ahh , Geeezzz, Now you went and did it .... Say goodbye to your wife , add a micro wave and fridge to the garage a futon is optional , Notify your credit card company about the Huge # of forthcoming charges and to only send copies of receipts to your NEW secret email address .


My chrome shop just happened to call today on my girls day off with my balance ... Let's just say I'm getting the "stare" as I type this . LOL !

The process ... Only disassemble as much as you can afford to rebuild . Then double the time you think it will take .
