That looks really good. I haven't done a project like this, but a friend of mine does this type of work. After all the bracing, he does floor pans and the trunk before the firewall.

My thought with doing the firewall first is it will keep the body square when the floor pan bracing is removed for the pan to be cut out

What an amazing project! I'm blown away at the fantastic job you are doing!!!

My brother has one of these in all original condition. Crazy fast, and a tire smoldering monster. I'm glad you're the one who found her!
