Thanks John.. Had to refabricate my tranny member to work so the pipes would clear but got it done this morning before coming into work.

Re: 68 project
wow it's almost like you're giving birth to some magnificent being. Can't wait to hear and see it in it's final configuration (Before you go on from there anyway.)

Re: 68 project
Aren't you done yet?
 My project has stalled. I've done a lot to the Mustang again, put leather seats in my Z71, and done some stuff around the house. I still have to cut down the back of of the PS bedside!

Re: 68 project
Very nice! I wish I would have done the gutter on the firewall when I had mine apart.

Re: 68 project
It is very smooth
Never would have thought how many hours would go into just smoothing the firewall, thank goodness I am able to do my own body work. Hoping this week I can get the color shot onto the cab and the doors rehung, at that point the wiring will begin  who here is good at wiring and mapping it out to work efficiently ?

Re: 68 project
That firewall is smooooth! That's one of those projects that I always admire but would never tackle. That's why I take the easy way out and say I like to keep them "mostly stock" appearance.

Re: 68 project
Well honestly I like the mostly stock appearance myself also but am ocd about a cluttered engine bay, I can't stand wiring and hoses everywhere and it makes it tough to keep clean. Originally I was going to leave it the way it was but the more I looked the less I liked it so to the cutting wheel I ran and ended up with this.

Did you do you a heater delete? I don't even see holes for heater hoses on your (very purty) firewall.

Re: 68 project
The firewall looks really nice. You should show the piles of dust so others can get an idea how much sanding you're doing. I've been there but your effort is worth it. My 40 Ford was that way, no heat or A/C. The early spring and late fall drives are a PITA when you can't see through the windshield though.

Re: 68 project
Yes there was plenty of dust from that. Two big dust pans full. But it is worth the efforts. If I need to defrost a 12v heater like you said
