From the album: PREMATURE RESTORATION
Removed dashboard from car. As dash was cracked badly not sure to put a full dash cover on or build a complete new dash out of metal. -
Overall the body is not too bad and repairable. On the right side rocker panel might have be replaced on further inspection. I might even cut the firewall and move it back 4" to 5" for better weight distribution. Also might install square tubing into the frame rails and extend the rails to the rear cross member. Checking out Hoke and other mount guys. I wanted to try out a new method of repairing my cracked dashboard but it was too far gone, Anybody make replacements? Sunny

More pics Made part shelve to store the parts during the build as I have only a two car garage. The shelve is made of 3/4" plywood 48" X 43" supported by 2" X 4" boards anchor bolted to cement wall. Top shelve will hold hood, fenders, doors, hatch, and etc. Below the shelve the front and rear suspension parts will go.

<p>Engine compartment empty for now. Might install steel tubing inside old frame rails.<br /> Checking out Hoku kits and others. Might even cut firewall and set it back 4" to 5". If I do that,<br /> a dash board might have to be constructed. My old dash is cracked and I wanted to try a new method to<br /> repair it.</p> -
