Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Here's a little progress. The major project I still am in the middle of is the firewall. I think I'm going to do it completely smooth. There are just too many variables with me to do a bead roll in it. So here are the steps I took thus far:
before shot: ![]() Step one was to remove the top of these supports. ![]() Then I cut along this seem and left all the spot welds intact. ![]() Here is the whole thing out. ![]() I then proceeded to cut away about 6 inches of the pinch weld at time and welded it back up. ![]() Here is a shot of it completely welded up. ![]() In order to mate up a new piece of sheet metal, I bent the bottom lip. ![]() This is how I did it. Yes, those are from wonderful Harbor Freight! ![]() |

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Three more pics of the hardlines. I am now completely finished with those. This pics shows the two tanks connected and the check valve.
![]() ![]() I didn't think about hardlines when I did the panhard bar, but somehow, it magically worked out. ![]() |

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Here are two pics of the rear brakes mocked up. These are Summit brand kit that is actually SSBC. They are for an impala which has a 5x5 bolt pattern. I just had to make a new caliper bracket and they worked perfectly.

I vote single or smooth. I also think that if you are to do one on the driver side it should be reciprocated on the passenger side. |

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Got the firewall pretty much done. Have to plug some holes and deal with the floor supports, but other than that, its done.
I did this in two sections just so it would be easier to work with. Here is the driver side tacked in place. ![]() ![]() Here it is primed. ![]() ![]() Here here it is complete. It looks a little plain-jain, but once everything is together and the motor is in, I think it will look nice. ![]() ![]() Here is one last random picture of a patch panel I made. ![]() Last edited by jlaird; 10-30-2009 at 09:32 PM. |
