Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Update time!
After cutting the old firewall out i realized the the floor boards need some rust repair and the lower corners on the firewall need to be rebuilt. So I decided to go ahead and make need floorboards (under support/cab mountincluded) and inner kickboard supports along with rebuilding the corners. I started with the passenger side first. Heres the pictures with the descriptions... First i removed old firewall and then i reinstalled the motor with the new 5sp trans and modified the trans mount to be removable. ![]() ![]() (in 5th with some clearance, will be making new shifter) ![]() ![]() Next i clearances the firewall and tacked on a flange ![]() ![]() Then I braced the door jam and then i completely cut the floor out. Before ![]() ![]() Rebuilding ![]() Cab under support(Old versus New) ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting the floorboard ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then came time to make the upper peice that connects to the firewall ![]() Then i fab'd a new inner kickboard panel ![]() Next I welded the firewall flange and doghouse part fully ![]() And here is on side ready to be drilled for spot welds and to be welded in place. ![]() ![]() Then im on to the other side and then Ill build a new removable trans tunnel and the cab will be 95% done. Justin

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
WOW, looks great ! i think it would look good to roll a couple panels into that firewall also, just to break up the flat a little .

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Thanks man!
Thanks. I agree with you, it would look good but its too big for my roller and when i get the inner fenders in you wont see as much of the firewall.
