Tough crowd!

Today I was otherwise occupied outside due to the weather unexpectedly turning warm, but I did get a chance to section the driver's lower cowl to fit properly:

In this shot, you can see both how much I shortened it (about 1/4", the lip sticking out at the front edge) and how much that improved my door gap on this side. It's now nice and consistent from the pillar all the way down

Last shot - I grabbed these out of a late model truck at the junkyard - adjustable shoulder anchors for shoulder belts. The truck will definitely be getting three point belts, but not sure if I will use these. Seemed like a good part to grab since they were cheap!

Next task, now that I have the outer cowl properly fitted, is to section the driver's side inner - outer cowl filler
