Looks great man. I like how you did your radiator support, a little different than we did, but it still looks great. I think your right, it does look a little more proportional to everything else. We went with 1.5 tubing just because of the other bars in the engine bay.
The dash project is looking good. good to see some nice fabrication. +1 on using the sn door panels. think it would look a little funny with the fox panels, mainly because of the location of the door handle. but looks really good. if i was a little closer to ya, i would give you a hand if you ever needed, but indiana is a little far of a drive. if i only was rich and had a private jet. well anyways keep up the good work
Thanks! I wasn't going to do the door panel thing but my friends (who have been alot of help on keepin me goin on the project) convinced me to just bite the bullet and do it. I got a set of white 7up door panels for 30 bucks off the bay to hack up and attach the SN section onto and then foam and fiberglass it to look pretty. That would be sick to get some of your work into my car. I HATE other people working on my cars because I dont trust them but after seeing your car I'd have to say you can work on my car any day!
No problem. Everything looks like it's going along great. The 94+ heater box will fit no problem. You'll see where you have to make some changes to the way it bolts up and being that your car is newer than my 81....you might not have to modify the firewall for the heater and ac hoses/tubes to go through. The 81 firewall needed some modifying done...more than what an 87+ firewall looked like. Just make sure nothing rubs. I put that black door edge protecting trim on the firewall where the heater core hoses and a/c hoses went into the car. Cheap insurance!
yea the 98 box fit perfectly, I actually get to shave the one hole in the firewall because the 98 box only uses one. The only thing Im going to have to do is "massage" the heater core tube a bit so the box fits all the way in place.
I had no idea you were doing an SN dash swap.. Looks awesome man!!!!
I wasn't going to do it until I got a sick deal on a wrecked 98 GT that I got for 400 bucks. I sold the trans and some other stuff and already made my money back on it. I'm going to be going to the E-town swap meet to try and sell some more crap and fund this project. I'm hoping that I will be driving it by mid summer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the comments guys! We all know you guys are half the inspiration for keeping our cars coming out like they have been!!!
