Quote from: "Daveyboy"Well it loks good so far. They did send me 2 pass door window trims.  But Squeak Bell is got what i need and is hooking me up.  And man there is a ton of steel in this thing  in the doors and all over it.
Trunk is strong and fits good doors the same.

Now what do you do for a gromet where you cut to run the brake through the body? pic anyone?
And who makes a good old style tire in 265/70 15r and 165/70/15r?

This is the one that I made for the car I am currently building.  I made it similar to what Frank mentioned but placed it on the outside.  This covers the rather large hole I had cut in the firewall.  Notice also the "Z" I put in the brake pedal arm to move the pedal over from the steering column.  I worked a lot on the pedal placement in this car.  I have seen and driven several that they did not give a thought to the controls when they built the car.  Some cars I have driven have the brake pedal directly under the column and this makes them more difficult to drive.
