Looking great. That interior color looks similar to mine. This one was a custom mix that we coated with a matte clear.

Well, I went to put the body on and quickly realized that moving the engine back 2" would require a couple bigger firewall modifications. I had to do this due to the serpentine setup.

This was WED when I put the body on (tried to). So FR I went in and started making the mods
Worked on it Fr Am, Sat Am, Sunday I repainted the firewall, then reinstall the body. Actually had to put the body a few times to check to make sure my cutouts would work.

My chain hoist worked!!!!

Note the firewall before fab and after

A ton of work, but it was worth it.
