Re: Project '86

A guy is supposed to be buying the cross member. I was going to make him one but he wanted it quicker so I said for a little extra you can just buy mine and I will build a new one.

It also frees up lots of room to clean that firewall.

I plan to shave the entire firewall and put the booster under the dash.

Re: Project '86

Today I got a little more of the trans tunnel done. Cut too much out of the floor initially so I am going to have to make some small filler pieces to tie it all in.

Re: Project '86

That logo looks good, but it looks a little fordish with the oval. Maybe if you put inside a chevy bowtie emblem... Just my $0.02. lol It still looks good.
