Got it put back together last night. I've got to set the valves and finesh up the engine bay. My new motor mounts came in and I'm trying to decide on how to cover the hole in the firewall with out looking so obvious.

 

So its 138am and I cant sleep. I'm excited about tomorrow morning after the kids get on the bus. I'm pulling the dash and center console. I'm cleaning the hole inside and going to do a fair amount of fiberglass work. Going to fix the dash pad so it wont curl up any more and I'm thinking about doing a one off console. (maby a cup holder or something).

 

Omg.....Still even more crappy repairs from the last owner. I pulled the dash and discovered that none of the internals were connected to anything. The center console was a little better, but it still needs some help. They had 4 different types of screws holding it in place.

 

AKKKK that is nasty the way ppl have no honor or care about how they throw cars and trucks together... I see it at work all the time... a shame.

 

yeah im gonna be pulling my dash soon too,i have the feeling,im gonna find the same thing as the heater has been deleated already in my car its cover with a pice of sheetmetal on the firewall then just screwed on,hope to make it look a little better when i get to the engine bay.

 

Looks good man, I wish my cab looked like yours! lol What tranny do you have?

 

Thanks, I have a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 with a brand new B&M Holeshot Torque Converter.

The stall (according to the website) is 2,400 rpm.

Got done with the dash and center console today.
I redid the logo on the glove box lid with a paint pin, but now that I look at the pics of it,
I think I might need to paint it as well. I used Duplicolor Vinyl And Fabric Coating.
