1963 Valiant

We sliced the firewall just below the wiper bolts and modified the wall and rewelded and refinished.

Well, that is just slick. I figured it would be a more professional looking job than the pop-riveted deal in the magazine article (and what did they do with the windshield wiper motor??)

Of course, at the time, we didn't know we had to do this so the engine bay had been painted. A couple of after pics included.

Ain't that the way it always works? But you did a great job. Have to keep it in mind if I ever swap in a V8. (At my age, doubt it.)
