Thanks guys.

Some center console work.







This inner box on the trans tunnel is the console mount and weather seal point.



a couple of cup holder pockets in the console. The consol bolts to the "box" with a 1/4 bolt in the bottom of each cup holder pocket.

Gads. I hope youse guys got well paid for that.


Relieve the frame for the alternator......super high trans tunnel.....that thing is a beast!

Very nice.

So many little tricks that I've forgotten about in this build. There are tricks everywhere. The drive by wire accelerator pedal assembly for example. Nobody liked the dodge truck plastic flipper pedal, it looked like a prosthetic for an amputee competitive runner.

So we chopped the pedal off the assembly, mounted a metal linkage arm onto it, then we hid it up high on the firewall in a fabricated metal box/bracket and we operate the drive by wire OEM unit remotely with mechanical linkage from a Lokar hot rod pedal assembly.

This car has been our most challenging and therefore our funnest build project to date.

Wow! That's gonna be a beauty, just like everything else you build. Fun to see! Thanks!!

This thing has been apart and back together so damn many times. Each time we do this we refine our panel to panel fitment, little changes that not everyone notices.

Amazing. Lots of man hours!

Firewall area behind the dash. We fabricated this cowl vent duct box. The car is to receive a power opening cowl upgrade and we were worried about all of the added electronics being installed in the area that the vent would have originally just dumped air in behind the dash. So we built this catch box with a water drain provision. It has air ducts that will blow vent air under the AC unit. You can see the drive by wire stuff just to the left of the vent duct.

Flush LED tail light mods

Here I was welding the exhaust system out of the car. Previously it was just tacked.



(also proof that the shop does get dirty)

New english wheel, rolling a test piece.



We need practice because....



Gotta fill that hole in the roof.

Looking sharp Dave!

I hope the client appreciates all the work that's going into the build. Dealing with other people's f ups is the worst. As my hot rodding buddy would say, I'd rather build a new car from scratch than chase down problems.

Holy Smokes. Time and money! Nice job!

I just knew there had to be a union worker in that shop of yours, great work as always, thanks for sharing.

2 of them can be seen in that photo. lol

If someone was wanting old cars for projects, there is a ton of old vehicles sitting around in Idaho and Wyoming. Since it's high desert, they don't rust much.

Dave,

Not to critique but why no paint? Seems sorta half-ass.

Dave, thanks so much for posting your builds. A lot of us are really into cars also, and it is really informative to see what all goes into restoring an older rod. I envy your talent and attention to detail! Keep up the good work, and keep the pictures coming of your builds. Russ

Really nice work. Great project!

That is awesome work! Thank for Sharing Dave!!
