Well the driver side is going to need a little more work than the pass side did.
Nothing to bad just a few pin holes just going to take longer than i'd hoped.
I almost thought about just geting rid of the fresh air vent all together but I think ill keep it.

Yep a little worse than the pass side for sure! You'll knock it out though!!

So i returned the firwall i was using for patch panels to my buddy last week thinking i would not need anything else but I did that before removing driver side cowl. Now that it looks like i need some more patches so I called my buddy and sure enough he took it to scrap. I guess ill just have to fab my own!

Got a call from the machine shop today and they told me that my
block was cracked. So between the crank being bad and the block being
cracked it might be easier to find another complete core. Funny thing is the
motor ran decent before i pulled it I guess you can never tell.

First of all, excellent work.

Perhaps I missed it. Is only 3 of the doors going to be functional?

Yea it is a lot of work but when I got into it it was easier to replace entire panel instead of only patching a few areas. I think it looks harder then it is.
Not much progress today but I did manage to tack replacement panel in.
