Well, I got a little bit more work done this weekend. I finished up patching the fire wall and installed hood struts off a ford taurus. I wanted to get rid of the springs running across the firewall. They are just tacked for now, but they work great. It's pretty easy to open the heavy steel hood. I was able to get them out of the way a bit, so now I have plent of room for the roll cage and big block. What do you think?
