Re: Hotrodelrods 54 build

Here we are 2 years blown by. I have started back on my 54. I was at a standstill, afraid to tackle the firewall, floors etc. but recently decided its time to dive in. So here is where we left off.

I welded a couple of braces in the door openings to keep the front of the cab from shifting upon firewall and floor removal.

I then cut out the stock firewall. A jigsaw/ cut off wheel combo worked well.

Next i used a flange/punch tool to punch holes around the perimeter of the new firewall for plug welds. I temporarily mounted it with a couple of self tapping screws and marked a line on the old firewall so I can trim it up. Also marked the hood hinge bolts for drilling the new holes

The flooring is just laid in place. Sorry the pics are out of order. Its been awhile. I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to whats to come.
