 I have moved the radiator all the way forward to make room for the Ford 351W and serpentine system. |
 |
 The minimal wiring and gauges are temporary. Column is a Flaming River. Power brakes are 100%. You can see all the floor pan work here. New firewall, toe boards, transmission tunnel and floorboards. All the welds need to be sealed. |
|
 Passenger side floorpan, toeboard and firewall. Cover on the side of the transmission tunnel is for access to pressure check the trans. |
 Note the three cut outs around the "A" pillar. That and the small area below the top hinge need to be repaired. |
 Placement of the two front buckets. I'm using four 1997 Explorer seats. |
 |
 Area behind the passenger seat floorpan that will need to be repaired. |
 Another area to be repaired on the right rear. |
 Small area on top left to be filled. Note the lack of a drip rail. I've decided to forgo a gutter and replace it with curving roof line that extends over the wood. |
 Same as the passenger side. Various holes to be filled. |
 Remarkably, the rockers were in pretty good shape, except for this one little spot. |
 Firewall was replaced. It will need some work to smooth out and make presentable |
 Detail showing damage to the upper drivers side windshield area. Passenger side shows no damage. |
 Detail showing damage to upper middle of the windshield lip. Needs to be fixed. I will be running a two piece windshield so the dividing bar will go here. |
 The upper lift gate is pretty nasty, but repairable. This is the outside. |
 This is the inside. |

 |
 Front suspension shot. I have air bags all the way around. |
 The exhaust is temporary. This shot shows the under body master cylinder. I expect it to be the lowest point of the car. |
 This shows the various floorpan work that was needed to accommodate the AOD trans. |
