Re: Inner firewall cover

Well, that should give you a cool weather or evening cruise night topless car and a truck that you can take road trips in the summer in.

My inlaws live in Central Texas and there are several car shows in that area that I want to go to on a somewhat annual basis for as long as I am able so that is the primary reason for building my truck so I can take reasonably comfortable road trips. 32 years ago we drove it to Texas with no ac, no windows and very little in the way of firewall or floor insulation and with the slant chop on the windshield air flow in the cab is limited. that was the summer that Texas had a record number of days over 100 and the pavement on the roads was melting in some places. We had a camper shell on the 48 that my kids or wife and one kid rode in most of the time and she would dip water out of the cooler and pour it over the kids to cool them off.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
