So moving forward, I wanted to get the engine bay front support beams done along with a few other things. As you can see, the front skin goes back on again. I'm lucky to have a wife that understands this project (actually, I don't think anyone does.... Including me!
) and she's willing to lend a hand when needed. Once that was back on it was time to run the side beams which serve two purposes. The first is to have a place to support and mount the front skins and the second it to tie the front end together. The beans consist of a 1.5" square tube that connects to the front post by the core support and the other connects to the firewall via a plate that connects to the A-pillar support frame. Everything ties together creating a rigid box.
But before that was done I formed up the lower splash shield and here's where I may add an extra couple inches or so later to cover that steering rack. For now, this will work.
Onto the dash....
Cheers
Dave
