passenger firewall is done and seam sealed around the inside... driver side is being a PITA with that  pedal box, but ill make it work, gotta cut the box down about in inch, trying to get as much leg room as possible.

Tonight i ordered an Ididit tilt steering column, and cut all but a half inch off the pedal box, and i dropped the driver floor down 3" so the pedals could move forward. it wasnt perfectly comfortable when i was sitting in it so i figured do it now instead of regreting it later...

Got the upper A arms tacked into location with extra tubing to notch, and tested how far the suspension travel is. and it will drop to the ground stuffing the 20's on corvette c5 suspension. pretty pumped about that.



also finished the center section to my firewall had it all laser cut at work/ as well as redesign and welded in the pedal box


then got a roll on the engine cover since the center section of the firewall will be tigwelded to the engine cover i wanted to prove everything out before i started at it

Are you going with the 73-80 front end or 81- up? I have plenty of 73-80 fenders.

Your truck looks awesome, and I wish I had the time and money to make build my truck even half as good as yours. Crazy attention to detail.

been doing alot of customer car work but that just means more income for the c10

Tonight i tackled one of the hardest things ive had to do yet, and thats make a contoured cut in a blind area, it came out fantastic and do not think i could ever do it so nice again if i had to.

thats the picture inside the cowl

oh and i forgot to mention i had to pull the cab off and shorten the frame 1.5" because the truck isnt factory wheel base anymore for some reason... the front wheel was off center 3"... so the motor is back 1.5" more now so i had to remake the engine tunnel wider and also made it higher for the future fuel rails, 3" higher



more to come of coarse.
