Re: My 54

The rumors of me going into witness protection are false. I have been busy with life, picking out and getting a 57, but I'm back on the 54 for now.

The firewall was looking like this:

But it is now installed.

I've also been working on some brackets to attach the rear inside side panels. The 48 had some from the factory and I wanted to try and duplicate them, but they were welded in from the factory and I wanted to be able to get behind them to make sure the lower cab corners got a good coat of everything.

They screw to the cab. I can either weld a metal panel to the outside of the lip, bolt them or build a separate speaker bracket and just use push tabs to attach the panel over the top.

Any thoughts on this as I'm sure the thought of putting speakers and finished panels back there is not unique to me. Thanks.
