So I finished removing the dash, seats, and steering today. In preparation for slashing and burning a new tunnel. See the picture below. And yes I am pretty sure I paid for my local Snap On dealers kids to go to college! The other picture is my layout method for slashing the firewall.
My apologies to all you "real" car guys out there, I realize there is likely a great way to do this but as I stated earlier I have never done this before. I am just kind of Farmeneering it as I go. I made the cardboard template to keep my cuts as close to graceful as I can. Next step will be to go to Harbor frt. and pick up an el cheap o motor stand that I will weld to my old stand creating a carriage if you will that I can rest the motor and tranny in. I can't buy casters and sq tube as cheap as I can buy a Chinese motor stand. Then I can roll it around pitch it to multiple angles and not lay on floor! It will sit it in my carriage jig so that I can attach K frame etc and drop car over whole mess. Once I get it fabricated I will post a picture. Should be a quiet week and I look forward to thrashing again next weekend.
