UPDATE 8/15/10


Got to do some more work on the firewall, grabbed some weldthru primer from brian, so we were able to prep the edges where everything meets, then work on fitting it in, I had a feeling I wasnt going to be able to maneuver it in whole, had to cut it in half down the middle, it was either that or disassemble part of the top of the frame rail, and without something to reinforce the car enough to guarantee things wouldnt get tweaked, didnt want to do that.

Inside the wheel well where the harness goes through:




Then got the lower half of the cowl pretty well fit up and called it quits, tomorrow should be actually welding it all in place, then engine bay prep.




UPDATE 8/17/10

Headed down and got to work on the car some more today, got the firewall tack welded in various places, then the lower half of the cowl, and finally the upper half with the windshield wiper mounts.

Still have to do a bunch more welding before its complete then hit it with some seam sealer, and it'll be all done, but yup its pretty much there. Tomorrow I should be able to get the welding for the firewall done and then continue on to the stitch welding of the engine bay.
