Someone had cut speaker holes but I am leaving them as access holes to put in door pins for the dome light. Also bought the release cable at the auto parts store and it bolted directly to it without modification. |

I am doing the whole inside including ceiling and doors with it. I want it as airtight as possible.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Finished the pastry work on the front of the cab and started routing the engine wiring. I plan on getting the font end back on in the next week.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Did you do any type of stiffener on the inside of the firewall for the battery box?

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
The brace going down to the inner fender is welded to the bottom of the box. When I push on it the whole truck moves so it is really solid. Also where I shortened it on one side it has really thick angle iron.
