I echo these comments, looking fine.

I love doing those jobs like you are i.e. the firewall work.

Excellent work. Notice as well that you have all of the safety gear at hand - mask, ear protection, eye protection & gloves. Just like in an industrial work place. Something we all need to think of when working on our cars.



 My file at the Emergency room is too big...I have learned the hard wayhmm..so I have all the gear..all the time.!..... Progress is good..stripping the paint now..just have to cut the floor a little to make room for the 6 speed tranny..it doesnt quite fitno..more pics to follow..

What I also found interesting is that the factory air firewall is different. I always thought they were the same. Good info.

I applaud your safety first approach. I like what you are doing with that car.

For sure from 64-72 it's different from air to non air. Not sure about later.

Some day when I'm rich enough to retire I'd love to set up at home doing installations of things like A/C, power options, 4 speed conversions etc on restored cars. That kind of work would be fun.

You certainly went "green" on the trans mount!


As Fake68 said, that block sure looks cool.
